The 3_Level_ZZ_Semafor Indicator For MT5 is an improved version of the zigzag indicator that draws the values of 3 zigzags on the chart. The 3 zigzag have different period for the calcualtion. Therefore one small, one middle and one big zigzag is calcualted. Instead of drawing the zigzag lines on the chart (which would clutter the chart) this indicator draws dots at the zigzag points. The dots have different sizes so you can distinguish the different zigzags.
Installing the 3_Level_ZZ_Semafor Indicator For MT5
After you downloaded the indicator via the form above you need to unzip the zip-file. Then you need to copy the file 3_level_zz_semafor.mq5 into the folder MQL5\Indicators of your MT5 installation. After that please restart MT5 and then you will be able to see the indicator in the list of indicators.
