ATR based ZigZag
An ATR-based ZigZag indicator that adapts automatically to any timeframe without requiring parameter changes. Uses ATR(20) × 2.0 to determine swing significance — swings smaller than this threshold are filtered out as noise, while genuine trend reversals are connected with clean diagonal lines.
Two display modes:
- Classic ZigZag: diagonal lines connecting confirmed swing highs and lows, with a dashed line for the current unconfirmed leg
- Stepped ZigZag: horizontal stepped line tracking the current swing level
Default settings: ATR Lookback 20, Multiplier 2.0.
