What is Boa ZigZag Arrows Duplex?
Boa ZigZag Arrows Duplex marks two calculated swing scales on an MT5 chart. Smaller orange and cyan dots show the faster scale, while larger pink and blue circles mark the slower scale.
Keeping the two scales visible together helps separate smaller turning points from broader swings. Developing ZigZag points can change as new price data arrives.
How to use Boa ZigZag Arrows Duplex
Review the fast dots and slow circles alongside visible highs, lows, and the surrounding candle structure. Treat each mark as a calculated pivot display rather than a fixed trading instruction.
Slow zigzag period changes the broader swing sensitivity, and fast zigzag period changes the smaller swing sensitivity.
Where it helps
Fast and slow ZigZag calculations are displayed together.
Dots and larger circles separate the two calculated outputs.
Each ZigZag scale has its own period input.
