ZigZag Lines MTF for MT5

Multitimeframe ZigZag indicator. It displays the support/resistance 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). 

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).
When used in an Expert Advisor, you can read ZigZag points using iCustom. For this you need to specify the number of points in the very first parameter. The current (last) point will have an index of 0, the previous index of 1, etc.

For example:

//Calculate the last "10" points, and find out the current price-time.
handle_ZZ=iCustom(_Symbol,_Period,"ZigZagLines","10",0,Depth,Deviation,Backstep);

   double price=iZZ(0,0);
   datetime start_time=(datetime)iZZ(1,0);
   datetime end_time=(datetime)iZZ(2,0);

double iZZ (int buff, int index)
{double ArrDouble[1];if(index<0)return(0);if(CopyBuffer(handle_ZZ,buff,index,1,ArrDouble)>0)return(ArrDouble[0]);else return(0);}
