Smart ZigZag AI: Adaptive Market Structure Indicator
The traditional ZigZag indicator uses fixed parameters (Depth, Deviation, Backstep) that may not adapt when market volatility changes. Smart ZigZag AI offers an alternative mode that automatically adjusts its internal parameters based on current market conditions.
Main differences with traditional ZigZag
The adaptive algorithm included in this indicator analyzes volatility in real time and applies dynamic filters to identify structural turning points. This reduces the number of secondary signals during low volatility periods and improves trend change detection in active markets.
| Feature | Traditional ZigZag | Smart ZigZag AI (Adaptive Mode) |
|---|---|---|
| Parameters | Fixed | Automatic adjustment based on volatility |
| Noise filtering | Static | Dynamic |
| Detection | Extreme High/Low | High/Low + close structure |
| Configuration | Manual (Depth/Deviation/Backstep) | Calibrated presets (Swing, Intraday, Scalping) |
