This ZigZag is a useful indicator when it comes to visualizing past underlying trends in the price and can make the process of using drawing tools easier.

Can you please convert the Zig Zag indicator from tradingview? It is a useful indicator when it comes to visualizing past underlying trends in the price and can make the process of using drawing tools easier.

Hi Samer800, can you please provide scanner for when the price crosses the lochannel and upchannel? Thanks

Unfortunately, no.

Attempting to scan for repainting signals, is a wack-a-mole game that leaves most forum members frustrated.

As such, the forum does not support, nor provide support for, repainting scanners.
