Sound and Popup Alerts When a ZigZag Bar Changes

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This short description covers an indicator that alerts a trader when its ZigZag line changes bar. It can send an audible alert, a push notification, or a popup in the trading terminal. The stated purpose is to notify the user of a change in the indicator’s plotted bars, rather than to define an entry or exit strategy.

The indicator is said to use three buffers: two for ZigZag data and one for coloring. The document gives no settings, chart examples, alert timing details, or evidence about trading performance. It also does not explain how the ZigZag calculation handles later price changes, so the alerts alone should not be interpreted as confirmation of a durable market reversal.
