ZigZag مؤشر - متجر cTrader

The ZigZag is a technical indicator that helps identify significant trend changes in an asset by filtering out minor market movements. Its primary purpose is to simplify visual price analysis by eliminating the "noise" of small fluctuations.

How It Works ⚙️

📊 Analyzes prices to find significant turning points (pivots).
📈 A turning point is deemed significant when the price changes by a specific minimum percentage (deviation parameter).
🔗 Connects these turning points with straight lines, forming a "zigzag" pattern.
🕒 Updates dynamically as new price data emerges.

Parameter Adjustments 🔧

🎚️ Sensitivity depends on the deviation percentage set.
