When thinning ticks youshould by no means eliminate local extrema that correspond to movements greater than a certain predefined threshold. If we thin out ticks till the extremums are the only ones left, then we will obtain a zigzag - our old friend)

But you saw, Shura, saw - they are graceful)

When they say it's simple - you have to buy at the lows and sell at the highs, it just means that when analyzing a quote time series, the extremes are the most important thing. The threshold is more or less clear, spread + commission. But it is not clear what gives the zigzag indicator. Has anybody managed to obtain true series extrema, points of highs and lows using the zigzag indicator? I have not, that is why I am asking. Does anyone know how to do it? Can you please tell me...

Leave me alone, toothless one. Your caresses are disgusting.

There were smart thoughts in the middle of this forum thread that no one paid attention to.

In real time?

At least in some, let it lag as long as you like.

I'm ready.

I did it, the zigzag has nothing to do with it, not at all.

Ready to give you a hint or what? On a graph, manually, anyone can show them.

How did it work? With another indicator?
 
Vladimir:
And with what? With another indicator?
Yes with other indicators. You have to filter, it just won't work. Google supply and demand, imbalance. (It's not a grail). I got away from it, but it should help you solve the problem.

Thanks. My whole problem was that there is a very widespread belief that the zigzag indicator builds extremes. It was important to hear further confirmation that it doesn't. I was left wondering if I just didn't understand the indicator settings.
