Indicateur Zig Zag
Double Top/Bottom - Ultimate (OS)This is zigzag based double top/bottom indicator. Code is same as : Double-Top-Bottom-Ultimate
But, republishing it to make it available open source.
Double Top:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if LH is followed by HH
Confirmation - When low crosses under last lower pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When high crosses over HH
Double Bottom:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if HL is followed by LL
Confirmation - When high crosses over last higher pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When low crosses under LL
Few input options:
Option to display risk per reward which defines how steep is the W-M triangle. This is simply the ratio of price difference between mid point to top most and bottom most points. In case of double top , downside is considered as reward and upside is considered as risk and with double bottom , downside is considered as risk and upside is considered as reward. Lower risk per reward signifies better trade.
Option to display stats which shows number of occurances of double top and bottom and how many times price crossed confirmation point and invalidation point (which are also marked with dashed lines) Stats are color coded. Higher confirmation rates are colored in shades of green, lower confirmation rates are colored in shades of orange whereas the neutral confirmation rates are coloed in light yellow.
Multi-ZigZag Multi-Oscillator Trend DetectorThis table is intended to give you snapshot of how price and oscillators are moving along with zigzag pivots.
This is done in the same lines of Zigzag-Trend-Divergence-Detector
But, here are the differences
Table shows multiple oscillator movements at a same time instead of one selected oscillator
Divergence is not calculated and also supertrend based trend. Trend can be calculated based on zigzag movements. However, lets keep this for future enhancements.
This system also uses multiple zigzags instead of just one.
⬜ Process
▶ Derive multiple zigzags - Code is taken from Multi-ZigZag
▶ Along with zigzags - also calculate different oscillators and attach it to zigzag pivot.
▶ Calculate directions of zigzag pivots and corresponding oscillators.
▶ Plot everything in the table on last bar.
⬜ Table components
Table contains following data:
Directional legends are:
⇈ - Higher High (Green)
⇊ - Lower Low (Red)
⭡- Lower High (Orange)
⭣ - Higher Low (Lime)
⬜ Input Parameters
▶ Source : Default is close. If Unchecked - uses high/low data for calculating pivots. Can also use external input such as OBV
▶ Stats : Gives option to select the depth of output (History) and also lets you chose text size and table position.
▶ Oscillators : Oscillator length is derived by multiplying multiplier to zigzag length. For example, for zigzag 5, with 4 as multiplier, all oscillators are calculated with length 20. But, same for zigzag 8 will be 32 and so on.
▶ Available oscillators :
CCI - Commodity Channel Index
CMO - Chande Momentum Oscillator
COG - Center Of Gravity
MFI - Money Flow Index (Shows only if volume is present)
MOM - Momentum oscillator
ROC - Rate Of Change
RSI - Relative Strength Index
TSI - Total Strength Index
WPR - William Percent R
BB - Bollinger Percent B
KC - Keltner Channel Percent K
DC - Donchian Channel Percent D
ADC - Adoptive Donchian Channel Percent D ( Adoptive-Donchian-Channel )
⬜ Challenges
There are 12 oscillators and each zigzag has different length. Which means, there are 48 combinations of the ocillators.
First challenge was generating these values without creating lots of static initialization. Also, note, if the functions are not called on each bar, then they will not yield correct result. This is achieved through initializer function which runs on every bar and stores the oscillator values in an array which emulates multi dimensional array oscillator X zigzag length.
Next challenge was getting these values within function when we need it. While doing so I realized that values stored in array also have historical series and calling array.get will actully get you the entire series and not just the value. This is an important takeaway for me and this can be used for further complex implementations.
Thanks to @LonesomeTheBlue and @LucF for some timely suggestions and interesting technical discussions :)
Zigzag Trend/Divergence DetectorPullbacks are always hardest part of the trade and when it happen, we struggle to make decision on whether to continue the trade and wait for recovery or cut losses. Similarly, when an instrument is trending well, it is often difficult decision to make if we want to take some profit off the table. This indicator is aimed to make these decisions easier by providing a combined opinion of sentiment based on trend and possible divergence.
⬜ Process
▶ Use any indicator to find trend bias. Here we are using simple supertrend
▶ Use any oscillator. I have added few inbuilt oscillators as option. Default used is RSI.
▶ Find divergence by using zigzag to detect pivot high/low of price and observing indicator movement difference between subsequent pivots in the same direction.
▶ Combine divregence type, divergence bias and trend bias to derive overall sentiment.
Complete details of all the possible combinations are present here along with table legend
⬜Chart Legend
C - Continuation
D - Divergence
H - Hidden Divergence
I - Indeterminate
⬜ Settings
▶ Zigzag parameters : These let you chose zigzag properties. If you check "Use confirmed pivots", then unconfirmed pivot will be ignored in the table and in the chart
▶ Oscillator parameters : Lets you select different oscillators and settings. Available oscillators involve
CCI - Commodity Channel Index
CMO - Chande Momentum Oscillator
COG - Center Of Gravity
DMI - Directional Movement Index (Only ADX is used here)
MACD - Moving average convergence divergence (Can chose either histogram or MACD line)
MFI - Money Flow Index
MOM - Momentum oscillator
ROC - Rate Of Change
RSI - Relative Strength Index
TSI - Total Strength Index
WPR - William Percent R
BB - Bollinger Percent B
KC - Keltner Channel Percent K
DC - Donchian Channel Percent D
ADC - Adoptive Donchian Channel Percent D ( Adoptive-Donchian-Channel )
▶ Trend bias : Supertrend is used for trend bias. Coloring option color candles in the direction of supertrend. More option for trend bias can be added in future.
▶ Stats : Enables you to display history in tabular format.
Overview of settings present here:
⬜ Notes
Trend detection is done only with respect to previous pivot in the same direction. Hence, if chart has too many zigzags in short period, try increasing the zigzag length or chart timeframe. Similarly, if there is a steep trend, use lower timeframe charts to dig further.
Oscillators does not always make pivots at same bar as price. Due to this some the divergence calculation may not be correct. Hence visual inspection is always recommended.
⬜ Possible future enhancements
More options for trend bias
Enhance divergence calculation. Possible options include using oscillator based zigzag as primary or using close prices based zigzag instead of high/low.
Multi level zigzag option - Can be messy to include more than one zigzag. Option can be added to chose either Level1 or Level2 zigzags.
Alerts - Alerts can only be added for confirmed pivots - otherwise it will generate too many unwanted alerts. Will think about it :)
If I get time, I will try to make a video.
Momentum-based ZigZag (incl. QQE) NON-REPAINTINGI spent a lot of time searching for the best ZigZag indicator. Difficulty with all of them is that they are always betting on some pre-defined rules which identify or confirm pivot points. Usually it is time factor - pivot point gets confirmed after a particular number of candles. This methodology is probably the best when market is moving relatively slow, but when price starts chopping up and down, there is no way the ZigZag follows accurately. On the other hand if you set it too tight (for example pivot confirmation after only 2 or even 1 candle), you will get hundreds of zigzag lines and they will tell you nothing.
My point of view is to follow the market. If it has reversed, then it has reversed, and there is no need to wait pre-defined number of candles for the confirmation. Such reversals will always be visible on momentum indicators, such as the most popular MACD. But a single-line moving average can be also good enough to notice reversals. Or my favourite one - QQE, which I borrowed (and improved) from JustUncleL, who borrowed it from Glaz, who borrowed it from... I don't even know where Quantitative Qualitative Estimation originates from. Thanks to all these guys for their input and code.
So whichever momentum indicator you choose - yes, there is a pick-your-poison-type selector as in in-famous Moving Average indicators - once it reverses, a highest (or lowest) point from the impulse is caught and ZigZag gets printed.
One thing I need to emphasize. This indicator DOES NOT REPAINT. It might look like the lines are a bit delayed, especially when compared to all the other ZigZag indicators on TradingView, but they are actually TRUE. There is a value in this - my indicator prints pivot points and Zigzag exactly on the moment they have been noticed, not earlier faking to be faster than they could be.
As a bonus, the indicator marks which impulse had strength in it. It is very nice to see a progressing impulse, but without force - a very likely that reversal on a bigger move is happening.
I'm about to publish some more scripts based on this ZigZag algo, so follow me on TradingView to get notified.
Enjoy!
zigzag support&resistance multi timeframe levels [LM]Hello Traders,
I would like to introduce you zigzag support&resistance multi timeframe levels. It is based on the ZigZag semafor script made by DevLucem so shout out to him
The Semafor is used to spot future multi-level Supports and Resistance zones.
It is also useful to spot HL or LL or HH or LH zones at different Depth settings.
I's the same zigzag indicator as my other zigzag indicator with distinction that supports multi timeframe levels as well, with depth setting for every timeframe.
I hope you will enjoy it as I enjoyed to write it.

Zigzag SARThis is another ZigZag script. But the difference between this and other ZigZag indicators on TV is that here we find highs and lows based on Parabolic SAR.
It repaints?
YES.
On last line of ZigZag you get repainting, because the highs and lows get confirmation only if direction (SAR dots) changes.
This shouldn't be used to forecast highs and lows directly anyway, it's just a visual guide for past highs and lows.
I'm using it to spot harmonic patterns and Wolfe waves more easily. The plan is to draw these automatically in the future, but my skills at Pinescript are limited at the moment.
PS. Ideas for my scripts are coming from @Jegejig1 on Stocktwits, if you want to know who to blame lol
Zigzag Candles SupertrendHere it is, as promised, supertrend based on Zigzag candles.
Earlier scripts on the Zigzag Candles expedition are here:
Zigzag-Candles
Zigzag-Candles-MA
Zigzag candles parameters Length and CandleSize remain as is. Along with this, we also add MALength and AtrMult to calculate ATR based on the new candles and to use it to derive supertrend.
UseZigzagCandles - selecting this will apply supertrend on zigzag candles and ignore the actual price candles completely.
UseClosePrices - Uses close price as base instead of high/low. Can be used in both modes of price candles and zigzag candles.
Zigzag Candles MAWe have the candles here: Zigzag-Candles
Lets create moving average!!
Just simple moving average at the moment. Since, items are in array. Not so easy to use standard functions of pine. Hence, will take that for future enhancements.
ATR and Supertrend next!!
Zigzag CandlesCan't deny that I am obsessed with zigzags. Been doing some crazy experiments with it and have many more in pipeline. I believe zigzag can be used to derive better trend following methods. Here is an attempt to visualize zigzag as candlesticks. Next steps probably to derive moving average, atr (although there was an attempt of AZR made earlier) and probably supertrend too ;)
Input parameters include ZigzagLength (to calculate zigzag) and CandleSize (number of zigzag pivots in each candle)
CandleSize can be 3 or more. Every time we collect pivots which are equal to CandleSize, we derive one candle. And when we derive a candle, we remove all old pivots except the last one. Becauase, the last pivot acts as open to the next bar and is required.
Body of the candle tells the start and end zigzag pivot in the range. And Wicks signify highest and lowest pivots in the range. High and Low wicks are placed at the pivot where high and lows are formed. Hence, you can see them at different positions each time.
Thanks to @RicardoSantos for suggesting boxes for candles - while I was trying to achieve this with plotbar
Multilevel ZigZag SupertrendVery much similar to :
I have slightly changed code to accommodate multiple zigzags. Also removed possibility of external source to keep it simple.
Indicator shows 2 Level zigzag based supertrends. Second zigzag used is multi level zigzag and hence, this acts as higher timeframe filter and can be considered as overall trend bias.
Multi ZZ - Support/ResistenceExperimental and probably can be improved further.
Method of deriving support/resistence is as follows:
Calculate Zigzags and start pushing them to SR array as and when they form
If any of the existing item is within the small distance - merge them. ATR is used to find if the prices are close by.
Whenever we merge two pivots, strength of support keeps increasing. This means, price has bounced off this point more time. Hence, keep track of number of pivots merged together.
Keep removing old pivots which are far away based on Loopback input
And that's all we got the full list of support and resistence points.
Now, to filter insignificant pivots, chose only those points which has been merged by more than Min Pivots input. Width of the support/resistence lines also will be thicker for the pivots which has more count. Hence thicker line imply strong support and resistence whereas the thinner ones are minor ones.
Multiband Oscillator - Zigzag versionJust variation of Multi Band oscillator present here: Multi-Band-Channel-Oversold-Overbought-Oscillator
Changes are:
Instead of regular moving average, here I am using Zigzag Moving average. This is calculated in similar to as explained in: Zigzag-Cloud
Instead of ATR, using AZR (Average Zigzag Range) - Average-Zigzag-Range-AZR
Rest of the logic remains same.
Number of bands used 100 - which means, calculate 100 Bollinger bands with Std Dev Multiplier starting from 0.1 and with step 0.1 for the next one.
Which divides price ranges into 200 equal parts. Calculate what is the current range and plot them.
Overbought - Oversold levels are dynamics. They are dependent on the max and min state price has reached in last 80 days. Offset and factor can be used to adjust overbought oversold levels.
Multi Level ZigzagAt first I thought of doing double zig zag. Once developed I thought it is not much effort to make it multi level zigzag. This script is not same as multi-zigzag indicator (link in the end). In multi zigzag indicator we use zigzag based on different length and each zigzag has no relation to each other. In this script however, each zigzags are related to each other. We cannot just derive Zigzag 4 without deriving Zigzag 3. (Though we can hide each of them individually)
The logic is simple.
Zigzag1: This is the basic zigzag plotted based on given length.
Zigzag2, Zigzag2, Zigzag3 : These are built based on lower level zigzags.
For example, Zigzag2 is built based on Zigzag1 pivots. For calculation, we just use N*2 number of Zigzag1 pivots to derive the next level. Similarly Zigzag2 will become input for Zigzag 3 and Zigzag3 will become input for Zigzag4
Input parameters allow you to chose upto 4 levels of zigzag along with zigzag line color and length. Max array lines also defines how many lines back you want to calculate the zigzag pivots and display then in the stats. Lowering this number will not reduce the number of lines - but, it will limit possibility of calculating higher level zigzags. Stats table just highlight which pivots are applicable for which outer level.
Application: Can be used in pattern recognization scripts to improve accuracy.
Disclaimer: This is not working in intraday charts. Nothing I could do at this point of time. Use it only for daily + timeframes.
Related scripts:
Multi ZigZag EW - ImpulseSimilar to the previous script on Elliot Wave Impulse:
But, here we are trying to use multiple zigzags instead of just one.
You can select upto 4 different Zigzags and set different length, line color, line width and style for each. Parameters ShowZigZag , ZigZag Length, ZigZag Color, ZigZag Width, ZigZag Style can be used for adjusting these.
ErrorPercent lets you set error threshold calculation of ratios for pattern identification
EntryPercent is used for marking Entry and T.Stop (Tight Stoploss) based on the length of Wave 2.
Target of the script is same as before. We are trying to identify Wave 1 and 2 of Elliot Impulese Wave and then project Wave 3. Chances of price following the pattern are there. Hence, we set Stoploss based on levels which fails the pattern.
Ratios are taken from below link: elliottwave-forecast.com - Section 3.1 Impulse
Wave 2 is 50%, 61.8%, 76.4%, or 85.4% of wave 1 - used for identifying the pattern.
Wave 3 is 161.8%, 200%, 261.8%, or 323.6% of wave 1-2 - used for setting the targets
Since we use multiple zigzags, labels can be quite messy at times. In such scenarios, just disable one of the zigzag length causing label overlaps.
Multi ZigZagI created this as basis for my next scripts. We are just trying to plot multiple zigzags with different length basis here. Input allows you to select different Length , Width , Color and Line Style for each Zigzags.
Max_pivot_size says how many pivots each Zigzag can have. Value 100 means, each zigzag will show 99 lines joining 100 points.
Additional option ShowStatsTable allows you to print pivots in a table. Table only shows selected zigzags.
Zig Zag Channels [LuxAlgo]The Zig Zag indicator is a useful indicator when it comes to visualizing past underlying trends in the price and can make the process of using drawing tools easier. The indicator consists of a series of lines connecting points where the price deviates more than a specific percentage from a maximum/minimum point ultimately connecting local peaks and troughs.
This indicator by its very nature backpaints by default, meaning that the displayed components are offset in the past.
🔶 USAGE
The Zig Zag indicator is commonly used to returns points of references for the usage of specific drawing tools, such as Fibonacci retracements, fans, squares...etc.
The proposed indicator estimates peaks and troughs by using rolling maximums/minimums with a window size determining their significance. This window size approach allows us to have an indicator that works with a certain regularity no matter the scale of the price, something the percentage-based approach struggles with. Additionally, one upper and lower extremity are displayed, highlighting the price point that deviates the most from the Zig Zag lines.
A common usage also includes the easy determination of Elliot wave patterns in the price.
The Zig Zag indicator above highlights a downtrending motive wave.
🔹 Extremities
The novel approach taken by this Zig Zag indicator is the addition of two extremities derived from the distance between the price and the Zig Zag line, thus returning channels. It is uncommon seeing extremities in Zig Zag indicators since the line connecting peaks and troughs has rarely any other utility than seeing trend variations with more clarity and is not meant to provide an accurate estimate of underlying local trends in the price.
This channel can be useful to study the potential relationship between underlying trends and the Zig Zag line. A low width between the Zig Zag and the upper extremity indicates price variations mostly located below the Zig Zag while equal width indicates more linear trends.
When the indicator is extended to the last line, the extremities provide potential support and resistances, thus making this indicator able to forecast price variations.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Determines the significance of the detected peaks and troughs.
Extend To Last Bar: Extend the most recent line to the most recent closing price value.
Show Extremities: Displays the extremities.
Show Labels: Display labels highlighting the high/low prices located at peaks and troughs.
🔹 Style
Upper Extremity Color: Color of the upper extremity displayed by the indicator.
Zig Zag Color: Color of the ZigZag lines.
Lower Extremity Color: Color of the lower extremity displayed by the indicator.
ZigZag (Using Line Array)This is standard zigzag indicator. I just coded them using lines array feature of pine - so that it can be done in least number of lines of code.
Few possible improvements:
Use label array to mark HH, HL, LH and LL
Add standard deviation check
Martyv Auto Fib Retracement with Logarithmic SupportSimple & easy auto-fib levels. Took the out-of-the-box version provided by TradingView and added Logarithmic support and a nicer palette, and made the controls a bit nicer to use (in my opinion lol). Enjoy.

coded by Bogdan Vaida
Code for Swing High, Swing Low and Swing Failure Pattern.
Note that we're still in the alpha version, bugs may appear.
Note that the number you set in your Swing History variable
will also be the minimum delay you see until the apples appear.
This is because we're checking the forward "history" too.
The SFP will only check for these conditions:
- high above Swing History high and close below it
- low below Swing History high and close above it
In some cases you may see an apple before the SFP that "doesn't fit"
with the SFP conditions. That's because that apple was drawn later and
the SFP actually appeared because of the previous apple .
20 candles later.

🍏 - swing high
🍎 - swing low

Zig Lines with Percent & ValueOverview, Features, and Usage:
The Zig Lines with Percent & Value is an indicator that highlights the highest and lowest points of the market from pivot points and zigzag lines based on the ZigZag Period setting. By a default value of 13 for the ZigZag Period this works well on Bitcoin or other alt coins on the 1 hour or higher timeframe charts.
What makes this indicator unique is that it draws a green line to signify an uptrend or a red line to signify a down trend. It will also show the percent difference between the previous point/line, for example: If you see a -negative percentage point with a red line drawn to it, then you are looking at a low pivot point and then as the green line is drawn to a +positive percentage value the percentage you see is the difference between the two points. This is great to see a trend reversal as you can look at previous pivot points and notice about how far the price moves before it changes direction (trend reversal).
There is an invisible EMA line that is used to assist with coloring the negative vs positive values. The value above or below the percentage is the lowest or highest price at that pivot point . The display of the price at the pivot point depends on your ZigZag Period setting and the timeframe of your chart.
Added Bollinger Bands as it fits perfectly with the visuals of the Zig Lines & Pivots.
Usage of Bollinger Bands:
~As the price or candle gets close to the top or bottom of the Bollinger band it can give you a better confirmation that the pivot location is at it's final place, and the trend is more likely to switch directions.
It’s important to know this indicator should not be used for alerts of any type it does repaint as the green or red line is drawing based on live chart data and it can change depending on the direction of the market. This is a great visual tool for trend analysis or to be used with other indicators as a confirmation for a possible good entry or exit position.

LTB Zigzag CirclesHello All,
Today I am here with a new idea and script, " LTB Zigzag Circles ". The idea is to create Circles using last 2 zigzag waves and to catch the breakouts earlier than horizontal lines. if a circle is broken then the script shows entry for Long/Short positions. and if broken circle reappears again then the position is closed. You can change Zigzag period as you wish and see the different results.
Here you can see how the script calculates and draws the Circles:
Below you can see how the script draws part of the circle on each bar:
Optionally the script can show levels:
P.S. I haven't tested it as a strategy, Result and Performance may change by Zigzag period, you need to find best Zigzag period according to your strategy. By the way, my Zigzag Circles idea can be improved, if you have any recommendation let me know please ;)
Enjoy!
