Zig Zag

The main purpose of the standard ZigZag Pivots is to analyse historical data in order to observe cycle's in a market's movement.

The purpose is to check if there is a common rhythm or beat in the underlying dataset. To check that, look for recurring patterns in the numbers. e.g. if you often see the same measured distance, you can conclude that there is a major dominant cycle in this market.

Also watch for harmonic relations between the numbers. So in the example below you see the highlighted cluster of detected length of around 20, 40 ,80 and 120.
