The thing I like about the swing zigzag indicator is that you can adjust the setting to get more accuracy.

Here’s how to adjust the settings:

  1. right click on your chart where the swing zigzag indicator has been upload and click “indicators list” and this will bring up a window with a list of all the indicators you have on that chart.
  2. Find Swing_ZZ and double click it and this will open up the second window
  3. In the second winder, By default,  in the “inputs” tab, the “minBars” is set to 2. By changing this number to 1, you get more accuracy. By increasing this number to 3 or 4, the accuracy decreases because it will only pick those significant swing highs and lows to draw zigzags.
  4. Then click “Ok” and this will close the 2nd window then you are only left with the first winder and you click”close”
