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).
The indicator redraws the last (current) point, and in some cases can change the last 2-3 points.
All lines are drawn as objects (not indicator buffers, but there is a possibility to receive the data for the EA).
When used in an Expert Advisor, you can read ZigZag points using iCustom.

Индикатор мне понравился. Оценка 5-ть! Очень много полезных опций для визуализации! Я бы хотел добавить одну незначительную опцию, которой нет: возможность отражать на тайм - фреймах менее 1 часа, экстремумы Zig-Zag с Тайм-фрейма H4 (или Н1), либо другим цветом либо другим символом. Но, с учетом стоимости индикатора, он и так очень хорош!
