rijnaa,
I have posted code that shows the zig Hi Lo pivots plotted as small pink and
green circles. In addition pink and green arrows are plotted showing when the
zig Hi or Lo would actually plot in real time. In other words the price must
change by "x" percent before the previous Hi or Lo becomes valid. You will see
visually that the zig line looks great but the valid entry and exits often
occur near turning points or pullbacks.
I have also included red and blue circles for Hi/Lo fractals.
They can produce much better results since you can confirm high and low pivots
quickly. No percentage settings are necessary for fractals, you just need to
filter the highs and lows (multiple highs may occur with no lows and vice
versa.
One example of a filter would be to check the percentage change of a fractal Hi
or Lo to your zig Hi Lo setting for pivot confirmation
