Most accurate ZigZag indicator?

---------

This is the one that I posted in the OP, but it's missing the mqh file...

----------

I was wrong... I ran a diff on the two files. The ZigZagProfExtra file is an old version and the file I posted of his in the OP is his newer/updated version.

https://www.mql5.com/ru/code/10074

=================
I downloaded the indicator ( post 21) not from the website mql. He has been made in 2013. It wasn't compiled, there was one mistake, I have corrected it, but as I am not a programmer, could be mistaken. Look at the new version of the indicator from the website mql. I have added to the name 2017

The mistake remained
line 482

OrderFormationHL = GetOrderFormationBarHighLow(Symbol(), Period(), i, UseSmallerTFforEB);

'Period' - cannot convert enum AlexSTAL_ZigZagProfExtra 2017.mq4 482 67

This is actually the old one. If you read the description this is the MQL4 version that was developed prior to build 600, and as such - had to implement some hackey routines to attempt to correct bugs in the buffers. This is evidenced by the use of start() instead of the new OnCalculate which passes more accurate rates into the main indicator function. The version I posted in the OP is his newer MQL5 version that I back ported. I have tested both and found his MQL5 version to be more accurate.

Since this was the most accurate zigzag that I've been able to find, I have further modified it by adding my own routine to increase accuracy by correcting when a peak is not the highest point between two valleys (and visa versa) and also if there are two extrema of the same price the method corrects to link to the bar with the most recent time.

As of now, this is what I believe to be the most accurate ZigZag indicator.

Thanks! I also wanted to ask you which the most exact

Dropping by to post an updated ProZigZagMod that fixes a minor bug with the corrective algorithm not going back far enough on recalcs.

Several zigzag indicator posted, unfortunately didn't see any MTF zigzag.

Does anyone have one with at last 3 different timeframes inputs? Like, I wanted to see the zizaz of 1h and 4h on top of the 15m, or 5m timeframe... Don't know if it's any useful but always nice looking for convergences.

You probably want to look for the three level semaphore indicator.

Thx man,

God bless.

Hi,
can you tell me a swing or zigzag indicvator that appears when there are changes in %.
I need a Zig Zag that drow only setted percentage movements (1%, 2%,....). Classsic ZigZag in Mt4 show max or min in n bars....

Thank you

Hello,

this one may interest you.

Hi Nicholishen,

Have you been able to finalise the optimal zig zag indicator yet? ive been on a quest for some time but still havent found the best one. Would be very appreciative if you could share?

From what I once read, the first Zigzag indy was created by a software engineer who worked for MetaQuotes. Its development is very intricate (likely discouraging 'side interest' software engineers from changing it) and the majority of the varieties I've seen (ZZ semafor, II SupDem, and so forth) just hold the first development estimations. Subsequently I believe it's improbable that you'll locate a 'progressively precise' adaptation, except if a portion of the ex-MQ coders have taken its advancement further.
With respect to', 'you can get ZZ to plot bigger or littler swings by changing its Depth, Backstep and Deviation settings.
Yet, I surmise you definitely realize that.

I am a fan of zigzag, use it 11 years . already with bb

Only trade . gold

I use multiple Zigzags settings

tradingview zigzag is my favourite, different from mt4

My original platform was mt4, gave up many years ago.

Could any one have indicator or script for MT4 to draw zigzag line manually?
Please share with me.
Thanks.

Não foi compilado, houve um erro, eu o corrigi, mas como não sou programador, poderia estar enganado. Veja a nova versão do indicador no site mql.

Hi,
Could you post already compiled? Here you can't compile.
Thanks.
