ZigZag implementation using an ATR threshold for directional change, as well as a secondary trigger based on time.

Variable input settings include changing:

  • The multiplier of the ATR threshold
  • Period for ATR calculation
  • Minimum and maximum number of bars before allowing or forcing a direction change
