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, 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.
