ZigZag with Day Count + AveragesThis indicator plots a ZigZag structure and measures how long each completed trend leg lasts in calendar days. Each confirmed leg is labelled with its duration, positioned away from price using an ATR-based offset so labels remain readable and unobstructed by candles.
Uptrend and downtrend legs are automatically colour-coded, and the indicator tracks rolling averages of trend duration to provide context on how long trends typically persist.
Key features:
ZigZag trend legs based on configurable deviation and depth
Day-count label for every completed leg
Clear, high-contrast labels offset from price
Automatic colouring for up and down trends
Rolling average duration of the last N uptrends and downtrends (default: 20)
Optional extension of the current, in-progress leg
How to use:
Identify potential trend exhaustion by comparing the current leg length to historical averages
Gauge whether a trend is statistically extended or still within normal duration
Combine with price action, support/resistance, or momentum indicators for confirmation
Works on all timeframes. On daily charts, day counts align closely with bars; on intraday charts, durations are calculated using calendar time.
