Zig zag

The market's swings, joined turning point to turning point.

How to read it

Higher highs and higher lows define an uptrend.

How to use it

Clarifies a trend's structure — its swing highs and lows — by filtering out noise.

Limitations

A turning point is confirmed only after price reverses by the deviation, then drawn at the extreme — so the last leg keeps moving until the next reversal.
