Zigzag Trend/Divergence Detector

How it works

The indicator uses a Supertrend to establish trend bias and selects an oscillator like RSI to analyze momentum. It employs a Zigzag indicator to detect pivot high/low points in price and compares subsequent pivot movements.

By observing differences between price action and oscillator behavior, the signal identifies potential divergences. These divergences are then classified and compared against the current trend bias to generate an overall sentiment rating

Why it may be useful

Traders often struggle with complex decisions during pullbacks or during strong trends, such as whether to continue a trade or take profits. This indicator simplifies these decisions by providing a comprehensive sentiment analysis.

By combining multiple technical analysis tools, it offers a more nuanced view of market dynamics. The signal helps traders recognize potential trend continuations, reversals, or hidden momentum shifts that might be missed by using a single indicator

When to explore it

The indicator works best in markets with clear trends and meaningful price movements. It is particularly useful for swing traders who hold positions for several days to weeks. Traders should apply it across different market conditions but be cautious during periods of extreme volatility or choppy markets. The signal is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools
