How to use Zigzag indicator.


There are two Zigzag deviation type:  percentage and point. The parameter "deviation value" is the actual number used for deviation type.
When you use percentage as the deviation type, it means that the value difference between two adjacent Zigzag point must be greater than the input percentage  which is the deviation value. 

For example, if you used percentage deviation type and set deviation value to 0.1, then the value difference between each Zigzag point must greater than 0.1%. It also applies to all adjacent Zigzag points.

When you use point as the deviation type, it means that the value difference between two adjacent Zigzag point must be greater than the input point which is the deviation value. The value of Point is the actual price amount, if you set deviation value to 1, the value difference between each Zigzag point must greater than $1. It also applies to all adjacent Zigzag points.
 
For example, if you used percentage deviation type and set deviation value to 0.1, the value difference between two
adjacent Zigzag points must greater than $0.1.
