I can't seem to find it: A ZigZag indicator (for NT8), that lets me define the minimum zigsize by ticks and displays the range of the moves in ticks. Any help here?

Best regards, Hendrik

Not sure if The PriceActionSwing indicator does what you're asking for.

Not sure what you mean by minimum zigsize but it displays the swings in ticks (among other things).

@FlyingRedbeet if you search the downloads/indicators section there are a bunch of zigzag indicators to choose from...not sure if they meet your criteria but have a look.

Thanks. I stripped it from all the Fibo stuff to leave only the zigzag itself and the recent high / low lines (good feature). And it does show the size of the moves in ticks.

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping for some guidance, as the indicator section doesn't seem to have a search function ...
