Summary
AI summary
S&R Structural ZigZag is a technical indicator for cTrader that detects price swings by scanning recent bars to identify the highest and lowest prices within a specified analysis depth. It validates swings using an adjustable percentage threshold to mark significant swing highs and lows, reducing noise by confirming swings only if half the analysis period passes without a higher high or lower low. The indicator draws zigzag trendlines connecting these swings, using green lines to indicate uptrends (new swing higher than prior) and red lines for downtrends (new swing lower than prior). It highlights key support and resistance levels by drawing lines at each swing’s exact price and extending them rightward, with labels showing price values for quick reference. The tool also reveals market structure by identifying bullish trends (higher highs and higher lows) and bearish trends (lower highs and lower lows) at a glance. Key customizable settings include analysis depth, price deviation percentage, swing label toggling, and line extension options. Installation is straightforward via drag-and-drop onto charts in cTrader. This indicator supports analysis of various markets including cryptocurrencies (e.g., BTCUSD), commodities (e.g., XAUUSD), and others tagged for breakout and trend strategies.
