Noro's ZZ-2 StrategyZZ = ZigZag. Strategy uses the ZigZag indicator. From the top points of the ZigZag indicator lime lines are drawn. From the lower points of the ZigZag indicator red lines are drawn.
Strategy
market-stop-orders are necessary. Or it is very desirable.
If the price became higher than the lime line - to open a long position.
If the price became lower than the red line - to open a short position.
It is a reverse system.

Elliott Wave Rule EngineWhat this tool does
The indicator scans price for two concurrent swing structures—a Small (shorter-degree) and a Large (higher-degree) set—then applies an Elliott/NeoWave rule engine to the most recent 5-swing motive (1-2-3-4-5) or 3-swing corrective (A-B-C). It produces:
Blue lines for Small swings and Orange lines for Large swings.
A rule dashboard (optional) showing PASS/FAIL/WARN for core rules & guidelines.
Buy/Sell labels when (a) a valid motive completes and (b) loop “consensus,” alignment, and scoring gates are satisfied.
Reading the chart
Small swings: thin blue segments, built from your Small settings.
Large swings: thicker orange segments, from your Large settings.
Background tint: faint green when a motive (impulse/diagonal) is valid right now on Small.
Labels (if enabled):
“1…5” or “A-B-C” markers on the latest detected structure.
Buy/Sell label at the last pivot when all gates pass; text may include a score %.
How it works
For both Small and Large degrees the script:
- Loops over all (left, right) combinations you specify (e.g., Small Left = 3..6, Right = 0..0) and calls ta.pivothigh/low.
- Aggregates the results:
- Keeps the most extreme pivot found in the loop (highest high or lowest low) that’s newer than the last accepted swing.
- Gates acceptance by minimum % change versus the last opposite swing (inside the loop) and a post-aggregation filter (Small Minimum swing %, Large Minimum swing %).
- Merges back-to-back same-type swings (HH or LL) by keeping only the more extreme one.
- Keeps only the last N=lookbackWaves swings (default 100).
- Consensus (used for signals) comes from the loop counts:
- sBuyConsensus = small L-count / total-combos (bullish bias)
- sSellConsensus = small H-count / total-combos (bearish bias)
(and the same for Large). This is a data-driven “how many combos agreed” measure.
2) Rule engine (Impulse/Diagonal vs. Corrective)
When there are at least 6 Small swings, the engine tests 1-2-3-4-5:
Hard rules (must pass for an Impulse):
- Wave-2 not > 100% of Wave-1 (no retrace beyond start of W1).
- Wave-3 not the shortest among 1,3,5.
- Wave-4 doesn’t overlap Wave-1 (if it does, structure may be a Diagonal).
- Diagonal eligibility: Rules 1 & 2 pass but Rule 3 fails ⇒ eligible as a Diagonal (
Guidelines (7 checks, count toward a threshold you set):
- W2 retraces a Fib level (within ±fibTol).
- W4 retraces a Fib level (within ±fibTol).
- W3 strongest momentum (speed = |Δprice| / bars).
- Alternation: W2 vs W4 have meaningfully different “sharpness” (price per bar), threshold altSlopeThr.
- Proportion (Price): |W1| and |W3| within propTolP× each other.
- Proportion (Time): W1W3 and W2W4 durations within propTolT×.
- W5 weaker than W3 (momentum divergence proxy).
A Motive is valid if:
- Impulse: all 3 hard rules pass and guideline passes ≥ Min guideline passes.
- Diagonal: diagonal-eligible and guideline passes ≥ Min guideline passes.
- if motive fails, the engine still evaluates ABC as Zigzag and Flat to populate the table:
- Zigzag: B shallower than ~0.618A; C ≈ A or 1.618A (±fibTol).
- Flat: B ≥ ~0.9A; expanded flat if B > 1.0A and C in *A; “running” note if C < A.
3) Signal logic (consensus-gated & scored)
Signals fire only on new Small pivots and only if a Small motive just validated:Direction comes from the motive’s W1 (up = bull, down = bear).
Consensus checks (from the loop):
Use Sell consensus if the last pivot is a High, or Buy consensus if it’s a Low.Require it ≥ Min SMALL loop consensus and ahead of the opposite side by at least Min consensus margin.If you also require Large quality: check the corresponding Large consensus ≥ Min LARGE loop consensus.
Alignment: If Require small/large directional alignment is ON, Small and Large directions must match (or the Large motive must be complete).
Score:
- If Large not required: finalScore = smallConsensus × smallQuality.
- If Large required: finalScore = smallConsensus × smallQuality × largeQuality.
- Need finalScore ≥ Min final score.
When all gates pass, you’ll see “Buy xx%” or “Sell xx%” at the pivot.
Inputs (explained):
- Smaller Wave Swing Detection (Looped)
- Small Left Min / Max (default 3..6): ta.pivot* left widths to scan.
- Small Right Min / Max (default 0..0): right widths to scan (0 = earliest confirmation).
- Small Minimum swing % (post-aggregation) (0.3%): filters out tiny swings after the loop.
- Larger Wave Swing Detection (Looped)
- Large Left Min / Max (100..200) and Right Min/Max (0..0): higher-degree scan (defaults are big; adjust for intraday).
- Large Minimum swing % (post-aggregation) (1.5%).
- Loop Filters (inside the loop)
- Small loop min % change (0.20%): a candidate pivot counts only if move vs. last opposite Small swing ≥ this.
- Large loop min % change (1.50%): same idea for Large.
Rule Engine Tolerances
- Fibonacci tolerance (±%) (0.05 = 5%): closeness to Fib levels.
-Same-degree TIME proportion max (x) (2.00×) and PRICE proportion max (x) (3.00×).
- Alternation slope ratio threshold (0.10): higher = stricter alternation.
- Min guideline passes (0–7) (5): threshold for motive validity.
- Signal Probability (Loop Consensus)
- Min SMALL loop consensus (0.60).
- Min LARGE loop consensus (0.50) (used only if Large validation matters).
- Min consensus margin vs opposite (0.10): e.g., 0.60 vs 0.45 fails (margin 0.15 passes).
Require LARGE 1–5 valid (or diagonal) for signal (off by default).
Min final score (0.20): gate on the composite score.
Annotate label with score % (on).
WARN (orange): guideline not met—pattern can still be valid if total passes ≥ Min guideline passes.
FAQ
Q: Why did I get a diagonal instead of an impulse?
A: Wave-4 overlapped Wave-1 (Rule 3). If Rules 1 & 2 pass and guidelines meet your minimum, it’s eligible as a Diagonal.
Q: Where do Buy/Sell labels come from?
A: Only after a valid Small motive at a new pivot, and only if consensus, alignment, and final score gates pass (per your settings).
Q: It “missed” a wave in hindsight.
A: Pivots require right bars to confirm; extremely tight settings can filter that swing; adjust Small min % or ranges.
Q: Are there repaints?
A: No, It uses standard pivot confirmation; until a pivot is confirmed, recent swings can evolve. After confirmation, lines/labels are stable.
Limitations & disclaimers
Elliott/NeoWave rules are heuristics; markets are messy. Treat outputs as structured context, not certainty.
Consensus is pattern-scan agreement, not probability of profit Not investment advice; always couple with risk management.
Tailored-Custom Hamonic Patterns█ OVERVIEW
We have included by default 3 known Patterns. The Bat, the Butterfly and the Gartley. But have you ever wondered how effective other,
not yet known models could be? Don't ask yourself the question anymore, it's time to find out for yourself! You have the option to customize
your own Patterns with the Backtesting tool and set Retracement Ratios and Targets for your own Patterns. In addition to this, in order to determine
the Trend at a glance and make Pattern detection more efficient, we have linked the calculation of Patterns to Bands of several types to choose
from (Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian) that you can select from a drop-down menu in the settings and play with the Multiplier
and the Adaptive Length of the Patterns to see how it affects the success rate in the Backtesting table.
█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Harmonic Patterns
-Pattern Names, Colors, Style etc… Everything is customizable.
-Dynamic Adaptative Length with Min/Max Length.
- XAB/ABC Ratio
-Min/Max XAB/ABC Configurable Ratio for each Pattern to create your own Patterns.
(This is really the particular option of this Indicator, because it allows you to be able to Backtest in real time
after having played at configuring your own Ratios)
- Bands
-Contrary to the original logic of the HeWhoMustNotBeNamed script, here when the price breaks out of the upper Bands
(example, Bollinger band, Keltner Channel or Donchian Channel) , with a predetermined Minimum and Maximum Length and Multiplier, we can consider
the Trend to be Bearish (and not Bullish) and similarly when the price breaks down in the lower band, we can consider the Trend
to be Bullish (not Bearish) . We have also added the middle line of the Channels (which can be useful for 'Scalper' type Traders.
-The Length of the Bands Filter is directly related to the Dynamic Length of the Patterns.
-You can use a drop-down menu to select from the following Bands Filters :
SMA, EMA, HMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HIGH/LOW, LINREG, MEDIAN.
-Sticky and Adaptive Bands options has been included.
- Projections
-BD/CD Projection Ratio configurable for each Pattern.
(Projections are visible as Dotted Lines which we can choose to Extend or not)
- Targets
-Target, PRZ and Stop Levels are set to optimal values based on individual Patterns. (The PRZ Level corresponds to point D
of the detected Pattern so its value should always be 0) but you can change the Targets value (defined in %) as you wish.
Again here, you have the option to fully configure the Style and Extend the Lines or not.
- Backtesting Table
-As said previously, with the possibility of testing the Success Rate of each of the 3 Customizable Patterns,
this option is part of the logic of this Indicator.
- Alerts
-We originally believe that this Indicator does not even need Alerts. But we still decided to include at least one Alert
that you can set for when a new Pattern is detected.
█ NOTES
Thanks to HeWhoMustNotBeNamed for his permission to reuse some part of his zigzag scripts.
Remember to only make a decision once you are sure of your analysis. Good trading sessions to everyone and don't forget,
risk management remains the most important!
Weis Wave Volume NumbersWhat is it?
This is an indicator to complement @modhelius' Weis Wave Volume Indicator.
Original code has been modified to display wave volume (cumulative) numbers above or below the latest candle of the corresponding wave on the main pane. Since we are concerned only with relative volume, VOLUME NUMBERS HAVE BEEN SCALED DOWN. (If you need actual volume numbers, uncheck "Scale Down Volume" option in Settings). Rising wave volume is denoted in green. Falling wave volume is denoted in red. Developing wave volume is postfixed with a '_'. Confirmed wave volumes won't have this.
Who is it for?
This indicator is useful if you already use Weis Waves in your analysis and could do with an additional numerical representation of the wave volume on the main pane. Can be used in conjunciton with @modhelius' Weis Wave Volume (WWV) indicator (need to be added separately) to complement the visual representation of the waves. Can be used independently as well.
Pelase note that if you use any other Weis Wave indicator (other than @modhelius'), the numbers and the waveforms might not match.

VD Zig Zag with SMAIntroduction
The VD Zig Zag with SMA indicator is a powerful tool designed to streamline technical analysis by combining Zig Zag swing lines with a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It offers traders a clear and intuitive way to analyze price trends, market structure, and potential reversals, all within a customizable framework.
Definition
The Zig Zag indicator is a trend-following tool that highlights significant price movements by filtering out smaller fluctuations. It visually connects swing highs and lows to reveal the underlying market structure. When paired with an SMA, it provides an additional layer of trend confirmation, helping traders align their strategies with market momentum.
Calculations
Zig Zag Logic:
Swing highs and lows are determined using a user-defined length parameter.
The highest and lowest points within the specified range are identified using the ta.highest() and ta.lowest() functions.
Zig Zag lines dynamically connect these swing points to visually map price movements.
SMA Logic:
The SMA is calculated using the closing prices over a user-defined period.
It smooths out price action to provide a clearer view of the prevailing trend.
The indicator allows traders to adjust the Zig Zag length and SMA period to suit their preferred trading timeframe and strategy.
Takeaways
Enhanced Trend Analysis: The Zig Zag lines clearly define the market's structural highs and lows, helping traders identify trends and reversals.
Customizable Parameters: Both the swing length and SMA period can be tailored for short-term or long-term trading strategies.
Visual Clarity: By filtering out noise, the indicator simplifies chart analysis and enables better decision-making.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Adapts seamlessly to the chart's timeframe, ensuring usability across all trading horizons.
Limitations
Lagging Nature: As with any indicator, the Zig Zag and SMA components are reactive and may lag during sudden price movements.
Sensitivity to Parameters: Improper parameter settings can lead to overfitting, where the indicator reacts too sensitively or misses significant trends.
Does Not Predict: This indicator identifies trends and structure but does not provide forward-looking predictions.
Summary
The VD Zig Zag with SMA indicator is a versatile and easy-to-use tool that combines the strengths of Zig Zag swing analysis and moving average trends. It helps traders filter market noise, visualize structural patterns, and confirm trends with greater confidence. While it comes with limitations inherent to all technical tools, its customizable features and multi-timeframe adaptability make it an excellent addition to any trader’s toolkit.

Trended CVD [Mxwll]Hey!
This indicator "Trended CVD" categorizes price movement by trend (using zig zag) and calculates cumulative volume delta for the entirety of the price move.
Features
CVD calculated for the trend
CVD divergences are distinguished (uptrend and falling CVD / downtrend and rising CVD)
CVD output normalized to scale with chart, and is plotted alongside the trend
Can be used for trend confirmation (CVD trend correlating with price trend)
All regular zig-zag features available
What constitutes a trend is customizable. Can locate small, medium, large price trends with detailed user-input settings.
How-To Use Trended CVD
The image above shows one of two primary uses for the indicator.
In the left-half of the image, price is downtrending simultaneously with CVD; thereby, CVD is confirming the downtrend.
The right-half of the image shows price uptrending simultaneously with CVD; CVD is confirming the uptrend.
This information can be used to classify the "strength" of the price move, and decide to trade with it or against it.
The image above shows the second primary use for the indicator.
A slight price decrease transpires while CVD increases - CVD diverging upwards from the price trend.
This information can be used to classify the strength of the downtrend, and decide to trade against it, or abstain from trading with it.
The image above shows, subsequent to divergence, price failed to sustain "meaningful" downwards movement.
Labels oriented at the final pivot of a trend show the cumulative volume delta for the entirety of the price move (distinguishable by the superimposed zig zag line).
That's really it! A more complex concept integrated with a simple output.
Thank you!
RSI Divergence Scanner by zdmreDivergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
If the stock is rising and making new highs, ideally the RSI is reaching new highs as well. If the stock is making new highs, but the RSI starts making lower highs, this warns the price uptrend may be weakening. This is negative divergence.
Positive divergence is the opposite situation. Imagine the price of a stock is making new lows while the RSI makes higher lows with each swing in the stock price. Investors may conclude that the lower lows in the stock price are losing their downward momentum and a trend reversal may soon follow.
Divergence is one of the common uses of many technical indicators, primarily the oscillators.

Fibonacci Extension / Retracement / Pivot Points by DGTFɪʙᴏɴᴀᴄᴄɪ Exᴛᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴ / Rᴇᴛʀᴀᴄᴍᴇɴᴛ / Pɪᴠᴏᴛ Pᴏɪɴᴛꜱ
This study combines various Fibonacci concepts into one, and some basic volume and volatility indications
█ Pɪᴠᴏᴛ Pᴏɪɴᴛꜱ — is a technical indicator that is used to determine the levels at which price may face support or resistance. The Pivot Points indicator consists of a pivot point (PP) level and several support (S) and resistance (R) levels. PP, resistance and support values are calculated in different ways, depending on the type of the indicator, this study implements Fibonacci Pivot Points
The indicator resolution is set by the input of the Pivot Points TF (Timeframe). If the Pivot Points TF is set to AUTO (the default value), then the increased resolution is determined by the following algorithm:
for intraday resolutions up to and including 5 min, 4HOURS (4H) is used
for intraday resolutions more than 5 min and up to and including 45 min, DAY (1D) is used
for intraday resolutions more than 45 min and up to and including 4 hour, WEEK (1W) is used
for daily resolutions MONTH is used (1M)
for weekly resolutions, 3-MONTH (3M) is used
for monthly resolutions, 12-MONTH (12M) is used
If the Pivot Points TF is set to User Defined, users may choose any higher timeframe of their preference
█ Fɪʙ Rᴇᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ — Fibonacci retracements is a popular instrument used by technical analysts to determine support and resistance areas. In technical analysis, this tool is created by taking two extreme points (usually a peak and a trough) on the chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci coefficients equal to 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%. This study implements an automated method of identifying the pivot lows/highs and automatically draws horizontal lines that are used to determine possible support and resistance levels
█ Fɪʙᴏɴᴀᴄᴄɪ Exᴛᴇɴꜱɪᴏɴꜱ — Fibonacci extensions are a tool that traders can use to establish profit targets or estimate how far a price may travel AFTER a retracement/pullback is finished. Extension levels are also possible areas where the price may reverse. This study implements an automated method of identifying the pivot lows/highs and automatically draws horizontal lines that are used to determine possible support and resistance levels.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fibonacci extensions option may require to do further adjustment of the study parameters for proper usage. Extensions are aimed to be used when a trend is present and they aim to measure how far a price may travel AFTER a retracement/pullback. I will strongly suggest users of this study to check the education post for further details, where to use extensions and where to use retracements
Important input options for both Fibonacci Extensions and Retracements
Deviation, is a multiplier that affects how much the price should deviate from the previous pivot in order for the bar to become a new pivot. Increasing its value is one way to get higher timeframe Fib Retracement Levels
Depth, affects the minimum number of bars that will be taken into account when building

Auto Pitchfork, Fib Retracement and Zig Zag by DGTPitchfork is a technical indicator for a quick and easy way for traders to identify possible levels of support and resistance of an asset's price. It is presents and based on the idea that the market is geometric and cyclical in nature
Developed by Alan Andrews, so sometimes called Andrews’ Pitchfork
It is created by placing three points at the end of previous trends
Schiff and Modified Pitchfork is a technical analysis tool derived from Andrews' Pitchfork
In general, traders will purchase the asset when the price falls near the support of either the center trendline or the lowest trendline. Conversely, they'll sell the asset when it approaches the resistance of either the center line or the highest trendline.
█ Study OPTIONS
Auto Pitchfork , the main aim of the study
Pivots threshold can be customized by “Deviation” and “Depth” input options
Pitchfork Type selection, available options Andrews' Pitchfork (Original), Schiff and Modified Pitchfork
Ability to set ALERTs for the Pitchfork Levels
Ability to add customized levels (all level lines customizable)
Auto Fib Retracement – This is the build-in study of TradingView, slight changes applied to fit with Auto Pitchfork
Zig Zag – Derived from build-in Auto Fib Retracement with some customization options.
█ Usage Tips :
Andrews' Pitchfork (Original) best fit in a Strong Trending Market
Schiff and Modified Pitchfork better with Correcting or Sideways Market. Modified Pitchfork is almost identical to a Parallel Chanel

Donchian Zig-Zag [LuxAlgo]The following indicator returns a line bouncing of the extremities of a Donchian channel, with the aim of replicating a "zig-zag" indicator. The indicator can both be lagging or lagging depending on the settings user uses.
Various extended lines are displayed in order to see if the peaks and troughs made by the Donchian zig-zag can act as potential support/resistance lines.
User Settings
Length : Period of the Donchian channel indicator, higher values will return fewer changes of directions from the zig-zag line
Bounce Speed : Determine the speed of bounces made by the zig-zag line, with higher values making the zig-zag line converge faster toward the extremities of the Donchian channel.
Gradient : Determine whether to use a gradient to color the area between each Donchian channel extremities, "On" by default.
Transparency : Transparency of the area between each Donchian channel extremities.
Usage
It is clear that this is not a very common indicator to see, as such usages can be limited and very hypothetical. Nonetheless, when a bounce speed value of 1 is used, the zig-zag line will have the tendency to lag behind the price, and as such can provides crosses with the prices which can provide potential entries.
The advantage of this approach against most indicators relying on crosses with the price is that the linear nature of the indicator allows avoiding retracements, thus potentially holding a position for the entirety of the trend.
Altho this indicator would not necessarily be the most adapted to this kind of usage.
When using a bounce speed superior to 1, we can see the predictive aspects of the indicator:
We can link the peaks/troughs made by the zig-zag with the precedent ones made to get potential support and resistance lines, while such a method is not necessarily accurate it still allows for an additional to interpret the indicator.
Conclusions
We presented an indicator aiming to replicate the behaviour of a zig-zag indicator. While somehow experimental, it has the benefits of being innovative and might inspire users in one way or another.
Tweezers and Kangaroo TailHello Traders,
Here Tweezers and Kangaroo Tail script is in your service. The script searches for Tweezer / Kangaroo Tail candlestick patterns and shows them as T (Tweezer) and K (Kangaroo Tail). Thanks to RorschachT who game me the idea and some details while working on this script.
What are these candlestick patterns?
Tweezers :
- A tweezers pattern occurs when the highs/Lows of two candlesticks occur at almost exactly the same level
- Both candles must have wicks
- Bigger Wick / Smaller Wick rate should not be greater than 150% ( 150% by default and you have option to change it)
- First Candle must be highest/lowest for last 5 candles (5 by default and you have option to change it)
- The level of High for Top, Low for Bottom must be almost lower than 20% of the bigger wick of tweezer candles (20% by default and you have option to change it)
- The Candles can be right next to each other or apart but not more than 12 candles apart (12 by default and you have option to change it)
- You will see that Tweezers pattern occurs frequently
Kangaroo Tail:
- Looks almost like a Hammer or Inverted Hammer candle
- They have both its open and close in the top or bottom third of the candle
- There must be some space/room on the left of the kangaroo tail
- The open and close of the Kangaroo Tail candle must be inside the range of the previous candlestick
- The next candle should create a new high or new low
- You have several options to set details about the "Room" that should be on the left and also options for Wick/Body rates
- You can see example below
You have option to enable/disable any of these patterns.
as far as I have tested they are strong reversal patterns but none of the indicators or patterns may not be enough alone. so you should confirm the signals using other indicators or tools
If you need more information you can find a lot of info on the net ;)
Example: Tweezers - Aparted
Example: Kangaroo Tail - Bullish
Enjoy!
ProjectionGreetings Traders! I have decided to release a few scripts as open-source as I'm sure others can benefit from them and perhaps make them better.(Be sure to check my Profile for the other scripts as well: www.tradingview.com).
This one is called Projection.
Projection is based off the same Principle as some of my other scripts, such as Trade Manager() and Price Predictor(). I use a simple concept using line.new() to define some potential Price Projections. From the Settings of the Indicator, you can access a couple different Pre-Set options.

Double Zig Zag with HHLLHello Traders,
Here Double Zig Zag with HHLL script is with you. it calculates 2 Zig Zag simultaneously and draws them, and also it calculates and puts Higher High, Lower Low, Higher Low, Lower High labels. All these are done dynamically, it means last HH/HL/LL/LH can change. if price continues to go up then HL can turn to LL or if price continues to go down then LH can turn to HH. This script can be used for different purposes such trend analysis, support/resistance levels, breakouts etc.
I tried to make many things optional:
You can set Periods for Zig Zags as you wish
You can set different colors for both Zig Zag Up/Down lines
You have option to show both Zig Zag, one of them or none them
You have option to show both HHLL, one of them or none them
You can set Zig Zag 1 line style as Dashed or Dotted
You can set Line Widths for Zig Zags
Some examples:
Enjoy!

Simple LinesIntroduction
Making lines is great in technical analysis since it can highlights principal movements and make the analysis of the price easier when using certain methodologies (Elliott Waves, patterns).
However most of the indicators making lines (Zig-Zag, simple linear regression) are non causal (repaint), this is the challenge i tried to overcome, making an indicator capable of making lines in a smart way (able to follow price without loosing a linear approach) and with the least lag possible, i inspired myself from the behaviour of the renko when using a small brick size. This indicator does not repaint .
The code is short and i hope, understandable for all of you, making lines is not a difficult task and its important to know that when a problem appear complex it does not mean that the code used to solve this problem must be complex. Lets see the indicator in details.
The indicator
The indicator have 4 parameters, the length parameter who control the length of lines, the emphasis parameter who control the stability and also the ability to make lines closer to the price (thus minimizing the sum of squares) , the mult parameter which is similar to emphasis and a point option that we will discuss later.
When emphasis and mult are both equal to 1 the indicator will sometimes draw a perfect line, however this line will try to follow the price and thus can create a noisy result.
This is where emphasis and mult will correct this behaviour. The emphasis parameter give a more periodic look as well as some control to the lines but can also destroy them.
This should not happen with mult , this parameter also give more predictability to the lines. Overall it correct the drawbacks of the parameters combinations mentioned earlier.
Its also possible to mix both the emphasis and mult parameter, but take into account that when both are equals the result consist of less reactive lengthy lines with low accuracy. Its better to only use one of them and let the other stay to 1.
Point Option
The indicator can sometimes have a weird look, appearing almost flat or just dont appearing at all. When such thing happen use the point option.

Time Frame Problem and Its Fix
When using higher time-frames the result of the indicator can appear different, in general the higher the time frame the lengthier are the lines. In order to fix this you can use decimals in the length parameter
length and mult both equal to 5.5, emphasis cant use decimals.
Conclusion
I have highlighted a simple way to make use of the small renko box size method in order to return reactive lines without making the indicator repaint. However Its ability to be close to the price as well as being always super reactive is not a guarantee.
For any suggestion/help feel free to pm me, i would be happy to help you :)
[RS]Fractals V9update: added optional option for marking the fractals with bgcolor (request for: faizal.mansor.908)
CreateAndShowZigzagLibrary "CreateAndShowZigzag"
Functions in this library creates/updates zigzag array and shows the zigzag
getZigzag(zigzag, prd, max_array_size) calculates zigzag using period
Parameters:
zigzag : is the float array for the zigzag (should be defined like "var zigzag = array.new_float(0)"). each zigzag points contains 2 element: 1. price level of the zz point 2. bar_index of the zz point
prd : is the length to calculate zigzag waves by highest(prd)/lowest(prd)
max_array_size : is the maximum number of elements in zigzag, keep in mind each zigzag point contains 2 elements, so for example if it's 10 then zigzag has 10/2 => 5 zigzag points
Returns: dir that is the current direction of the zigzag
showZigzag(zigzag, oldzigzag, dir, upcol, dncol) this function shows zigzag
Parameters:
zigzag : is the float array for the zigzag (should be defined like "var zigzag = array.new_float(0)"). each zigzag points contains 2 element: 1. price level of the zz point 2. bar_index of the zz point
oldzigzag : is the float array for the zigzag, you get copy the zigzag array to oldzigzag by "oldzigzag = array.copy(zigzay)" before calling get_zigzag() function
dir : is the direction of the zigzag wave
upcol : is the color of the line if zigzag direction is up
dncol : is the color of the line if zigzag direction is down
Returns: null
