Length = 10 Length2 = 25 You only need to use M15 timeframe. Trade between 8 AM GMT and 16 PM GMT. No restriction on pairs, but I tend to stay away from XAUUSD and XAGUSD. This is a mean reversion strategy, i.e. we buy SWING low and sell SWING high. Yes, sometimes the signal is delayed and other times it's earlier - however, it's a high probability setup - failures do happen and is part of the game! Use the Fibonacci lines as take profit targets... take partial profits as you pass a Fibonacci level. If you stick to these rules (and are not greedy),...

excellent info! I'll follow up on that on the next demo trading round. It's going well on my end so far.

Thanks for sharing the results.

Can you roughly explain what do barn, length and length2 mean?

  1. BarN = Number of bars used to draw the Blue zigzag. If you trading the M15 timeframe, stick with 96 hours - that's a full day, don't need more than that unless you want to see historical data.
  2. Length = Number of bars used to search for swing highs and swing lows. Shorter length - more signals, longer length - fewer signals, but more reliable.
  3. Length2 = Same concept as length, except this is the value that gets used on a M1 chart only.


So in short, zigzag will be drawn for BarN bars, swing high and low will be determined by Length bars, but if it's a M1 chart it will be determined by Length2 bars. Stick with M15 timeframe... don't bother with the others, in my opinion.

This is not a double zigzag as some others have pointed out or shared earlier... again, complete lack of understanding. See below - we avoided an unnecessary trade with Length 10:

EURUSD - Length 6

This method actually uses ZigZag and just takes the z1-z2 phase orientation.
ZigZag ZRP only draws z1-z2 when ZigZag appears z0-z1. This can be found in strategy tester, Or read ZigZag ZRP indicator source code directly
Therefore, we just use ZigZag.
if z0>z1 buy, if z0<z1 sell. that's all.

"Stick with M15 timeframe", is it just use 1 M15 chart instead of use 3 different timeframe charts?

'Scanner' for the system. No need for other indicators on folders to work. If you select 'Working mode' for List or Market Watch mode, only setting it up on one chart is enough. If you set a List (most fx crosses only) and broker uses suffixes on instrument names, add manually in order to be recognized. The other working modes do not need suffix info. Only pop-up alerts. Alerts for changes on conditions if selected on inputs (default Yes for all 3) {file} Cheers!

Thanks for the Pop-up Alert Indi...Since you're only using two letters to represent a pair and USDCAD is represented with UC what should I use to represent USDCHF on the list ?
Thanks in advance .

{file}{file} USAGE BUY - When you see the green #1 symbol. SELL - When you see the red #2 symbol. Symbols only appear once all 3 time frames line up. Make sure both ZIG_ZAG_STARTLEVEL and MultiZigZag are in your indicators folder. Works on the following basis: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...7#post13980667 {image}

@Samsha ,please why is your MultiZigZag Alert not working anymore?
It's like you put an expire date in the code

This is potencialy or you actually tried longterm? So you obly use M15 no m5 and m1?
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.
