Features of Channel ZigZag MT5 Indicator
The indicator plots a channel with a blue upper line and a magenta lower channel line with a teal dotted mid line. Traders can identify the trend direction of the forex market using the slope of the channel. An uptrend channel has a positive slope while a downtrend is with a negative slope pointed downwards. A steeper slope angle indicates a stronger price trend.

In a bullish up channel, traders can buy at the lower channel line with a stop loss below the previous swing low. The best profit target is the upper channel line. Similarly, in a bearish down channel traders should open sell positions from the upper line.
