Hello everyone

I wonder if it is possible to put price texts on zigzag highs and lows (ZigZag_swing_mtf_with_alert)

Here is an image of how you could see the result

As you discovered it was not a simple task.
Indicator updated - Please download again.
I have fixed the mtf display issue however I had to remove the price size code as it was causing some sort of internal code conflict the only drawback to removing the size code is the price boxes size cannot be changed. I have also changed the price color code which is now in the inputs.

I appreciate it a lot!

Indeed, the buffers of this indicator are used in so many lines, that I never knew which was the one that had to modify to obtain the price of the zigzag

thank you very very much.

Attached an image of my business strategy (The mark of text serves me to be able to operate from a tablet with windows.)

Again, thank you very much

The strategy I am using is very simple, generates between 50 and 70% hits week by week,

The idea is simple, go with the trend of h4 (MA 13 and MA 48), draw trend lines with the zigzag (m30) and make (in favor of the trend) entries in m15 when it breaks a trend line.

The trend line, has to be traced only between min-max of two days to be able to operate.

Stoploss, in the last min-max of the zigzag.

So far the results of the backtest, give the following:
-68% success, with RR 1: 1
-40% success, with RR 1: 2

The price tag is useful to be able to operate from a tablet (to locate the stoploss)

It is my view that those of the opinion that ZigZag is junk simply don't know how to use ZigZag.
