Get alerted (and see on the chart) when a zigzag leg break occurs!
Indicator works in real time, alerting and cleanly displaying when price closes beyond the last high/low zigzag. This is important to confirm a trend is evolving in a healthy manner:
To confirm a trend is evolving in a healthy manner, not only do we need to see price moving higher/lower than its previous high/low, we also expect to see at least two closes beyond that high/low as further evidence that the market is accepting and building value.
Failure to see at least two closes may be a precursor to what’s often referred to as false breakout, and while the move still holds its merit to qualify as a new high/low in the cycle, the quality of the leg is poor in nature.
