The Last ZZ50 strategy is a trading approach based on the Zigzag indicator and pending orders.The concept originated from a forum discussion, where the idea was first presented.

The strategy's core principle involves analyzing the last two rays of the Zigzag indicator, AB and BC.
Here's how it works:
- The AB ray is dynamic and can change, with point A being adjustable.
- Pending orders are placed at the midpoint of rays AB and BC.
- Triggering the pending order on ray AB continues the trend indicated by ray BC.
- Triggering the pending order on ray BC reverses the trend shown by ray BC.
- Since ray AB is not fixed, the pending order is continuously modified to maintain its price at the midpoint of AB.
Position management is handled through trailing stops. Once a position moves into the profit area by a certain threshold (trailing stop + trailing step), the trailing function is activated for that position.
This expert advisor includes a peak-finding mechanism. It adds the Zigzag indicator to the chart and draws three vertical lines through points A, B, and C for visual reference.
