Overlaying Two Boa ZigZag Indicators as Chart Arrows

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief description introduces a chart indicator that overlays two Boa ZigZag calculations using different periods and marks them with arrows on the same chart. The dual display is intended to show turning points from two parameter settings together, letting a trader compare their signals visually. The text identifies an author and attributes the original code to a MetaQuotes Code Base publication.

The description does not state the periods, arrow-generation rules, or how the indicator should be used to enter or exit trades. It also gives no testing results or discussion of repainting, lag, or other ZigZag limitations. As a result, it explains the indicator’s basic visual arrangement but does not establish that its arrows predict future price movement or provide a complete trading strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays two Boa ZigZag calculations with different periods on one chart.
  • Each ZigZag is represented with arrows to make their turning points visible.
  • The description does not specify the periods or define a trade entry or exit method.
  • No performance evidence or discussion of ZigZag signal limitations is provided.
