The "ZigZag Zona" Expert Advisor uses the "ZigZag" custom indicator, with which the EA (under the conditions noted in the screenshots) places initial pending orders:

• Buy stop - at the top of the ZigZag;
• Sell stop - at the bottom of the ZigZag.

Thus, it limits the price movement using the zone created from orders. Then the EA starts working based on the principle used in the Zona EA.

The EA features:

• trading by time;
• closing orders when reaching the profit level - in the currency or in points;
• closing orders when reaching the loss level in the deposit currency;
• disabling the EA after closing all orders by profit or loss;
• enabling trailing stop at the specified level of profit in points.

The following information about the EA is displayed on the screen:

• Magic - identification number of the EA;
• current points - current profit of the open orders in points;
• current profit - current profit of the open orders in the deposit currency;
• today profit - daily profit in the deposit currency (in the tester the net profit from the beginning of testing is displayed);
• min Distance - minimum allowed distance between BUY and SELL orders;
• Current Distance - current distance between BUY and SELL orders;
• Breakeven Point - breakeven level (calculated), in points from the outermost order.
