Wave Analysis
Zig Zag High LowZig Zag script that uses local minimums and maximums as pivot points. It can be used as a source for pattern recognition.
ZigZag++Hey Awesome Traders
I noticed people were so happy with my ZigZag lucemanb script and so I made one that is more user-friendly and customizable
Please note the original one is dedicated to developers, The code is very minimal for fast understanding when anyone wants to use it in their development
In this script, I have included several features like multi-timeframe and alerts. Do take a look and enjoy
If you are using the indicator, please comment down the link to your script
If you would love to support my work through donations, Am so happy to receive them
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Do u have an idea or a feature that you want to be added,
You can ping me or ask about it here, I can always update
Check out some of the best works i have done with this script
1. Angle trading
2. Harmonic Patterns
[RS][V4]ZigZag Percent Reversal - Helper - Retrace LevelsA helper script with multiple retrace level options.
[fikira] Harmonic Patterns TESTAs requested a TEST script when possible future
Harmonic Patterns may occur, in this case the ABCD pattern.
When A, B, C are valid, the script will plot 2 lines between A-B and B-C, together with
2 white arrows,,where D MUST be in the future to become a valid ABCD pattern.
First of all, D MUST be a Pivot point, after which D must lay between D- and D+
In a Bearish example D- is the minimal value of D, D+ the maximum value of D.
In a Bullish example D- is the maximum value of D, D+ the minimum value of D,
either way, D must be between these 2 lines.
Since we don't know when the next possible Pivot point will occur, the white arrows
won't predict where it will happen, it just shows the max and min value.
If it doesn't become a valid ABCD Pattern, the lines just stay that way, when a valid ABCD pattern
occurs, more lines will be plotted, together with the Targets.
Do mind, the script adds a lot of lines, since there is a maximum of lines, only the last ones will
be plotted, the rest can be made visible by using the "Replay" button
Also, the script measures Pivot Points, it is not always perfect, do your own research and
see for yourself if a valid pattern is also valid for you!
Thank you!
BEST Trend Direction Helper (Strategy Edition)Hello traders
A follower asked me to convert my Trend Direction Helper into a strategy
So blessed this indicator reached the 1400+ likes milestone - I can't believe how many people are trading with it
I based the setup as follow:
- Entries on those green/red labels
- exit whenever a Simple Moving Averages cross in the opposite direction happen
- possibility to filter only Longs/Shorts or both
Also...
The strategy includes the Zig Zag/Pivots high/low and other options from the indicator version. I only added a quick strategy component with a hard exit concept based on SMA cross
All the best fam and... HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!

zigzag newThis is just experimenal zigzag
The zigzag % is adaptation of Ricardo santos old Zigzag %
the pivot are from pine script manual
So it try to cross them together
I think it need much work
but as i idea i put it for anypne who is interested

THIS CODE IS BASED FROM THE MT4 ZIGZAG INDICATOR
THE ZIGZAG SETTINGS FOR THE MAIN ONE ON TRADINGVIEW DO NOT WORK THE SAME AS MT4
I HOPE U LOVE IT
I have had tons of experience on the ZIGZAG indicator and thought this might help someone.
Enjoy this code. Zigzag is a good indicator in many ways and people underestimate it because of its repainting
Check out some work ave done with this script. This is some intense angle trading requested by someone
Trend Direction Helper (ZigZag and S/R and HH/LL labels)Hey everyone
First of all, I'd like to thank Ricardo Santos, Backtest Rookies for the inspiration for this script.
Actually, most of it is coming from them and I only mixed them up (and added my secret sauce ^^). If some of you are not thinking about a trading secret sauce, please get serious for a moment :)
Some of you asked me how I do to set the trend direction. You all understood that if you get an UP label, then the price should go up and vice-versa for down.
But it's not so easy to define the good signals for each asset and each timeframe. I'm going to repeat what I said yesterday because ... well... that's what trading is about
So quoting myself here "The inputs set by default will have to be changed for your asset/timeframe and can't be generic for everything. You have to play with the inputs until the signals will make sense to you
The indicator/strategy with a unique configuration that you'll never check or update according to the market condition DOES NOT exit. "
BUT... a bit of patience and practice and you might do wonders.
The Method
I never realized until now but by connecting the higher highs/lower lows, I was drawing zigzag lines.
The Zig Zag Master is Ricardo Santos . Please give him a follow, he's awesome
For those who don't want to draw on the chart or (my preferred choice) need some inspiration to define your trend directions, this script is for YOU (and your family, your pet, your girlfriend/boyfriend, ...)
I think that each asset/timeframe chart has its own history. What worked in a post could work in the future.
In that regard, if a trend direction worked in the past, that's the parameter that I'll use to trade with it in a demo account and make sure it's relevant. If not then I will adjust
If you're trading with new indicators or a new method right away on your real trading account, you're gonna have a bad time imgflip.com
Lines EVERYWHERE
The script draws the classical horizontal pivots + the zig zag lines + the Higher Highs/Lower Lows label in just 1 script. I'm very excited to share a script (on which I coded 100 lines out of 500) but no one else did it
The horizontal pivots part are coming from Backtest Rookies
For more security, you can add a pullback on a moving average after getting a signal. Pullbacks are necessary to limit any eventual loss or maximize your gains by getting in the trend sooner.
I really give you a solid method and a great script in my opinion. 6 years of experience given away for FREE :p (when Dave will start thinking as a business man instead :O)
Does it repaint ?
Getting this question twice a day. You guys are obsessed with the repainting :)
Short answer, yes because it will calculate the pivots and zig zags whenever new higher highs/lower lows will be formed.
However, the trend direction code is based on the candle close so it shouldn't repaint. If it does, please let me know
See you all on Monday
Love you all
Dave

Voss Predictive Filter█ OVERVIEW
The Voss Predictive Filter (VPF) is a negative group delay (NGD) filter that anticipates cyclical price movement through phase compensation. The VPF isolates band-limited cyclical components via a bandpass filter, then applies negative group delay to shift the signal's phase forward, causing the output to lead the input by a fraction of the cycle period.
Based on Dr. John F. Ehlers' "Voss Predictive Filter" article in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities (TASC) magazine, the VPF displays a predictive oscillator with optional dynamic threshold bands for identifying significant cycle behavior. The indicator is timeframe-agnostic - the mathematics work identically from tick charts to monthly bars, though shorter timeframes require more careful parameter selection due to noise.
█ CONCEPTS
Bandpass Filtering
A bandpass filter isolates price activity within a specific frequency range, removing both high-frequency noise and low-frequency trend drift. The VPF uses a second-order IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) bandpass filter characterized by the center frequency (the Bandpass Period input) and bandwidth. The center frequency determines which cycle period the filter emphasizes, while bandwidth controls the damping coefficient - how tightly the filter focuses around that frequency. Before filtering, the source is debiased via 2-bar momentum to remove DC offset, ensuring the filter operates around a true zero centerline.
Negative Group Delay Filtering
The predictive capability stems from negative group delay (NGD) - a filter characteristic where output appears to "lead" the input. Most causal filters introduce lag (positive group delay), but by combining the bandpass filter output with appropriately weighted past values, the VPF achieves negative group delay characteristics.
This is a universal NGD filter application for band-limited signals: the bandpass filter isolates the cyclical component of interest, then the NGD stage advances the phase within this limited frequency range to create an anticipatory output. This isn't statistical forecasting; it's phase compensation that shifts the signal's timing forward, causing peaks and troughs to appear before they occur in the bandpass output.
Negative Group Delay Stage
The NGD stage combines the current bandpass output with weighted historical values to produce an output that leads the input. By subtracting a weighted average of past deviations from a scaled version of the current filter value, the algorithm advances the signal's phase: peaks and zero-crossings in the voss output appear before the corresponding events in the bandpass filter.
The prediction order (`3 * Prediction Multiplier`) controls how many past values contribute to the phase advance. Higher orders provide smoother output but reduce the leading effect; lower orders maximize anticipation at the cost of stability.
█ INTERPRETATION
Zero-Line Crossovers
Crossings above zero suggest bullish momentum in the filtered cycle; below zero suggests bearish momentum. Crossings from near-zero regions are most reliable, as extreme excursions need time to return to equilibrium.
Threshold Bands
Threshold bands define "significant" deviation. Breaches indicate unusually strong behavior and can serve as:
• Trend confirmation when aligned with price direction
• Overbought/oversold warnings at extremes
• Trade entry filters (requiring threshold breach in the intended direction)
Threshold Mode affects sensitivity: MAD (outlier-resistant), Standard Deviation (volatility-sensitive), Percentile Rank (fixed probability bands).
Alert Conditions
Four built-in alerts trigger on bar close (no repainting): Above +Threshold (strong bullish cycle), Below -Threshold (strong bearish cycle), Above Zero (bullish phase shift), Below Zero (bearish phase shift).
█ SETTINGS & PARAMETER TUNING
Voss Predictive Filter
• Source : Price series to filter.
• Bandpass Period (1-100): Primary tuning parameter determining which cycle length the filter emphasizes. Short periods (8-15) are more responsive but noisier; medium periods (16-30) balance responsiveness and smoothness; long periods (31-100) focus on longer cycles with more smoothing.
• Bandwidth (0.01-0.45): Controls filter selectivity. Narrow bandwidths (0.01-0.15) isolate specific cycle periods precisely; medium (0.16-0.30) tolerate cycle irregularity; wide (0.31-0.45) capture broader cycle ranges. Shorter periods pair well with narrower bandwidths.
• Prediction Multiplier (2-10): Controls how many past values contribute to the phase advance. Higher values provide smoother output but reduce the leading effect; lower values maximize anticipation at the cost of stability.
Display Settings
Control visibility and colors of the Voss output, bandpass filter, and zero reference lines.
Diagnostics - Dynamic Thresholds
Three methods identify significant signal deviation:
• MAD (Median Absolute Deviation) : Robust, outlier-resistant measure using `k * MAD` where `MAD ≈ 0.6745 * stdev`.
• Standard Deviation : Volatility-sensitive, calculated as `k * stdev` of Voss over the lookback period.
• Percentile Rank : Fixed probability bands using the percentile of |Voss| (e.g., 90% means only 10% of values exceed threshold).
Settings:
• Dynamic Threshold : Toggle threshold bands and set colors.
• Threshold Mode : Select MAD, Standard Deviation, or Percentile Rank.
• Period (2-200): Lookback for threshold calculations. Default 50.
• Multiplier (k) : Scaling for MAD/Standard Deviation modes. Default 1.5.
• Percentile (%) (0-100): For Percentile Rank mode only. Default 90%.
█ LIMITATIONS
Inherent Characteristics
• Residual lag : Despite negative group delay design, some lag remains relative to price action.
• Cyclical markets required : Performs best on instruments with clear cyclical components. Strongly trending markets with little cyclicality produce less useful signals.
• Signal interpretation : Absolute Voss values are instrument-specific. Always interpret relative to adaptive threshold bands, not fixed levels.
Market Conditions to Avoid
• Sudden news events/gaps : Major discontinuities disrupt cycle continuity, causing erratic signals. Requires 1-2 full cycle periods to re-stabilize.
• Low volume/illiquid markets : Sporadic trading produces false cycles from liquidity artifacts. Use only on actively traded instruments during liquid hours.
• Regime changes : During cyclical ↔ trending transitions, watch for persistent extremes without mean reversion, increasing price/indicator divergence, or unresolved threshold breaches.
Parameter Selection Pitfalls
• Mismatched period : If Bandpass Period doesn't match actual market cycles, the filter produces weak signals. Use cycle measurement tools (FFT, autocorrelation, Dominant Cycle) to identify appropriate periods first.
• Overoptimization : Perfect historical fits typically fail forward. Choose robust parameters that work across multiple instruments and timeframes.

Zero Lag - ZigZag - JDThis is a alternative version of the well known "ZigZag indicator" but it uses turning points of the Jurik ma
instead of the traditional "pivot points" that are by definition lagging by a large lookback period, the (almost-) Zero Lag ZigZag lags by about 2 bars on average (depending on the candles forming)
The ZigZag pattern can be used to draw trendlines and S/R lines
It can also be used for "wave counting" in a way that reduces interpretation.
If you find other uses, please leave your ideas in the comments!
Shoutout to Everget for the awesome Jurik code!!
