Point Zig Zag

The indicator is a polyline (ZigZag segment) that tracks and connects the extreme points of the chart price that are at least a specified size apart from each other in points on the price scale.
The one and only setting is the minimum size (in points) of a ZigZag segment.

The indicator displays levels to determine a possible trend reversal:
level   "LevelForUp" - the breaking of this level determines the possible reversal of the trend up (to buy);
level   "LevelForDown " - the breaking of this level determines a possible reversal of the trend downwards (for sale).
