This indicator is a new attempt to draw compatible zigzag for automated trading with ProOrder.
The zigzag are drawn with the new fractal point that is contrarian to the last one.
The “cp” parameter control the depth of analysis to find fractals, higher is the value, deeper are the valleys and taller the peaks. Default value is 20.
//---external parameters
//cp = 20
