The ZigZag Indicator is a market structure tool designed to filter out minor price fluctuations and emphasize major swing highs and lows. By connecting these swing points with lines, it helps traders identify trends, reversals, and chart patterns such as head & shoulders, double tops/bottoms, and triangles. The indicator itself does not generate buy or sell signals but is effective when combined with price action, support/resistance levels, or other indicators.

Key features include simplifying market noise, identifying support and resistance levels, and assisting in trend confirmation and pullback entries. It supports multiple trading styles:

- Scalping (1m–5m timeframes): Focuses on capturing small, frequent moves by entering trades on breakouts or pullbacks near ZigZag levels, with tight stop-loss placement.
- Intraday trading (15m–1H timeframes): Aims to trade daily trends and key reversals using ZigZag points as pivot zones, often combined with oscillators for confirmation.
- Swing trading (4H–Daily timeframes): Targets large trend moves and position trades by identifying major market structure and using pullbacks for entries.

Adjustable sensitivity allows customization for different trading approaches. The indicator is applicable across various markets including Forex, stocks, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies.
