Multi timeframe ZigZag indicator. It displays the support/resistance horizontal lines and their breakouts, as well as draws the current targets of the market. It can also display lines of the Fractals indicator and candles from other periods (up to Quarterly). So, you can actually see the supply and demand levels.
You can also use it as indicator for the Break of Structure(BOS) & Market Structure Shift(MSS).

This is a brilliant indicator with a huge versatility in specific options. It can draw zigzag from a higher time frame and candles from a higher timeframe, whilst showing levels from the zigzag (or fractals etc.) Colours and so on can be individually specified to give what you need and keep a clean chart. It has too many uses to go into details but an invaluable tool if you use zigzag, candles or liquidity levels. Taras is helpful and skilled, he was able to update to show candles only closed of htf, which I suggested, in a few hours. Look at his other items too!
