Hi Apprentice, does the oscillator repaints on already closed candle? As due to my knowledge, a zig-zag must repaint, otherwise its not really a zigzag (well, since the formula is derived from the zig-zag indicator).
What about a strategy on this one?

Confirmed that the indicator does not refresh/recalculated on candle close..

There is no doubt that one of the best ways Fibonacci technical analysis nor objected to it with you But the zigzag is not strong indicators you can rely on and the Stochastic indicator moving with Fibonacci

When you have time would you please add the capability to set the strategy to trade by time of day.
Thank you!

Figured it out - Indicator repaints causing it to open and close multiple times each time histogram repaints up and down as time increases.
Oh well - probably need some type of confirming signal to make this usefull.

Would you please add the Volty Channel Stop and Super Trend Indicators as filters to the ZigZag Oscillator strategy:
Volty Channel and SuperTrend should be selectable:
Trading Scenario 1 - Super Trend Indicator Only;
When SuperTrend Indicator registers SHORT (Red) and ZigZag Oscillator Histogram is below “0” open SHORT.
When SuperTrend Indicator registers LONG (GREEN) and ZigZag Oscillator Histogram is above “0” open LONG.
Trading Scenario 2 - Volty Channel Stop Indicator Only;
When Volty Channel Stop Indicator registers SHORT (Red) and ZigZag Oscillator Histogram is below “0” open SHORT.
When Volty Channel Stop Indicator registers LONG (GREEN) and ZigZag Oscillator Histogram is above “0” open LONG.
Trading Scenario 3 - Volty Channel Stop and Super Trend Indicator;
When Volty Channel Stop and SuperTrend Indicators register SHORT (Red) and ZigZag Oscillator Histogram is below “0” open SHORT.
When Volty Channel Stop and SuperTrend Indicators register LONG (GREEN) and ZigZag Oscillator Histogram is above “0” open LONG.
Also add the indicator parameters, time to trade parameters, price parameters, trading parameters and alerts.
Objective is to control the repainting issue that is inherient with the ZigZag Oscillator Indicator when used in a strategy.
SuperTrend ZigZag Oscillator Strategy
Your work is most appreciated!
Thank you and regards!
