Configurable ZigZag Fibonacci Levels, Fan Lines, and Trend Display
Summary
This MetaTrader indicator description explains a configurable chart overlay built around a ZigZag calculation. Users can set the calculation timeframe and ZigZag depth, deviation, and backstep, then choose whether to display Fibonacci levels, a Fibonacci fan, and a trend line. The documented default levels include common retracement and extension ratios, and each level can be assigned a display color.
The material is primarily an indicator specification and parameter listing rather than a trading method. It provides no entry or exit rules, market examples, backtest, or evidence that the plotted levels predict price behavior. Its operation also depends on a separate compiled ZigZag indicator file. The configurable visuals may help traders inspect swings and reference levels, but the document does not explain how to interpret or validate those levels, and ZigZag-based swing points can change as price develops.
Key ideas
- The indicator calculates swings with configurable ZigZag timeframe and parameters.
- Users can customize Fibonacci retracement and extension levels and their colors.
- Optional chart elements include a Fibonacci fan and a trend line.
- The document describes display settings but gives no tested trading rules or performance evidence.
