ZigZag is primarily used for post-analysis, helping identify major wave structures and support/resistance levels. Many traders use ZigZag to apply Elliott Wave Theory or identify harmonic patterns. ZigZag cleans chart noise, making price structure clearer. Important to understand ZigZag repaints; last leg may change with price, so should not be used for generating real-time trading signals. ZigZag is best used for identifying completed price patterns and key price levels.
