Micro Zigzag

23 sept. 2022

Micro zigzag is created based on similar concepts as that of zigzag but by using lower timeframe intra-bar data. The lines join candle's high/low points but also depict how the price movement within the candle happened. That is, if the high of the candle is reached first, pivot from previous candle join the high first and then low and vice versa.

The output can also be viewed as advanced line chart.

🎲 Process

🎯 For every bar identify whether high came first or low by using lower timeframe data.
🎯 If high came before low, add high as high pivot first and then low as low pivot. If otherwise, add low as lower pivot first and then high as higher pivot.
🎯 When adding pivot, check if the last pivot is in the same direction as the new one. If yes, replace existing pivot if the new one goes beyond it. Ignore otherwise.
🎯 If the last pivot is of different direction as that one new one, then simple add the new pivot.
