█ OVERVIEW
The Zig Zag/Consecutive Bars indicator is a powerful trading tool that helps to visualise the flow of the market. This indicator allows users to see at a glance when a candle closes at a new high or a new low, which can be incorporated into a variety of trading strategies to better understand points of reversal and consolidation.
This indicator also displays the RSI score of each pivot, as well as a trailing count of how many bars it has been since there was a new high/low.
█ USAGE
As each bar finishes, the script will check if it closed above or below the previous bar’s high or low, depending on the current trend direction. When a new high or low is set, the script will then look for a move in the other direction. This can be a powerful tool that can identify when the market is trending strongly, as well as identifying when the market has a weak or no trend.
At each pivot point, the RSI score is displayed. This serves as additional confirmation to how strong the trend is. The RSI labels can be turned off in the settings.
As each trend develops, the script will count and display the number of bars that have closed since the most recent pivot. These labels can be turned off in the settings.
