Using ZUP’s Interface for Wave Marking and Fractal Filtering
Summary
The article explains how to use ZUP’s graphical interface in MetaTrader to mark market waves and attach charting tools to ZigZag extreme points. Users can create and save multiple wave layouts for a symbol, adjust wave levels and display options, and apply Fibonacci tools, channels, pitchforks, and pattern tools through a panel.
It describes two forms of fractal filtering. One removes wave structures distorted when changing timeframes, either at the affected level alone or together with included lower levels. Another removes graphical tools when their anchor points become distorted on a timeframe. The article illustrates interface operations and gives conceptual examples, but it does not test whether the markings or patterns predict profitable trades. Wave labeling choices and timeframe distortion handling remain analytical aids rather than validated trading signals.
Key ideas
- ZUP’s panel supports creating, editing, hiding, and saving wave markings for a symbol.
- A wave ZigZag is drawn alongside markings and can be shown as a line or extreme point dots.
- Fractal filtering can remove distorted wave structures after changing chart timeframes.
- Graphical tools can be anchored to ZigZag extremes and hidden or removed by type.
- The article documents interface behavior, not evidence of trading profitability.
