The ZigZag indicator is based on the RSI indicator. This makes it possible to identify significant extremes.
Different calculation options are provided:
– RSI indicator at Close or Hi-Low prices (1 and 2 buffers respectively in OnClose mode – the first buffer, in Hi-Low mode the first buffer at
High price, the second buffer at Low);
– ZigZag indicator by period (standard) or minimal deviation. (The ZigZag indicator values are always in zero buffer.)
If you use a higher timeframe, make sure that the timeframe quotes that does not match the story break can lead to unclear consequences.
