cTrader ZigZag Alerts
This is the cTrader ZigZag Alerts, it plots and alerts you about swing types (Higher High, Higher Low, Lower Low, etc.) and it also calculates and alerts about Fibonacci retracements and expansions comparing one swing with another. With its unique standardized approach, the ZigZag line remains consistent across all symbols, timeframes, and price ranges, ensuring accuracy and reliability in every market scenario.
Update 1.1:
What changed:
There is a new parameter that controls how the swing alerts work. This new parameter is called "Swing Alerts Pause Mode." With this parameter, you can choose if you want only one alert per swing or use a timer to pause these alerts for a certain amount of time.
Important:
If you choose to have one alert per swing and enable alerts for all swing types (any), you will get a second alert when the current swing changes. For example, if you get an alert for a lower high and then the same swing updates to a higher high, you will get another alert.
Update 1.2:
What changed:
Some traders don't like to include candlestick wicks in their strategies, so with this new update there is a new parameter called "ZigZag Mode". With this new parameter you can choose whether you want the ZigZag to be created using the Highs and Lows (candlestick wicks), or using the Opens and Closes (candlestick bodies).
Update 1.3:
- Changed the Pop-up alert System
Update 1.4:
- Fixed a bug that was placing the zig zag lines at the wrong place when using the Open & Close mode.

How the standardization of the zigzag line works:
Look at the images below. The first one is EURUSD 1 Minute and the second is EURUSD Monthly, both with sensitivity 6. See that the number of swings compared to the number of candles is consistent across both of them:
How the Fibonacci Retracement calculation works:
When you choose to display the Fibonacci Retracements, the indicator will calculate the retracement of the current swing compared to the last completed swing.
How the Fibonacci Expansion calculation works:
When you choose to display the Fibonacci Expansions, the indicator will calculate the expansion of the current swing compared to the last swing that went in the same direction.
In the next image, you can see all the labels you can enable in this indicator (Swings, Price, Fibonacci Retracement and Fibonacci Expansion):
