Absolute ZigZag Lib

2023年6月11日

Library "Absolute_ZigZag_Lib"

This ZigZag Library is a Bit different. Instead of using percentages or looking more than 1 bar left or right, this Zigzag library calculates pivots by just looking at the current bar highs and lows and the ones of one bar earlier.
This is the most accurate way of calculating pivots and it also eliminates lag.

The library also features a solution for bars that have both a higher high and a higher low like seen below.

You can also use your own colors for the labels and the lines.


You can also quickly select a one-colored theme without changing all colors at once
