ZigZagMaxData

Library for convenient calculation of the ZigZagMax indicator buffer.

The data is collected in the form of a structural array with trend, max-min prices and the start-end time of the trend (one element, one pulse).

Installation

Downloading and installing ZigZagMaxData

cd "YourMT4(5)TerminalPath\MQL4(5)\Include"
git clone https://github.com/mql-systems/ZigZagMaxData_inc.git MqlSystems/ZigZagMaxData

Now upload the ZigZagMax indicator itself to the folder MqlSystems/ZigZagMaxData. We upload ZigZagMax.ex4 and ZigZagMax.ex5 files.
