What the Zig Zag Candle Builder does

Zigzag Swing Builder creates clean zigzag lines connecting pivot highs and lows across your chart. It is the go-to tool for showing market structure, higher highs and higher lows, lower highs and lower lows, wave counts, and trend analysis visuals. Each pivot point is editable and labels like HH, HL, LH, LL can be attached automatically.

Available on Creator.

How to use the Zig Zag Candle Builder

  1. Click to place pivot points on the canvas at your chosen price levels.
  2. The builder auto-connects them with straight zigzag segments.
  3. Optionally enable auto-labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) at each pivot for market structure markup.

When to use it

  • Show a higher-highs, higher-lows uptrend structure in a trade analysis video.
  • Map Elliott Wave counts with alternating zigzag legs.
  • Create a swing-trading educational segment on identifying market structure.

Tips

  • Toggle pivot labels off for cleaner visuals when the audience already knows market structure.
  • Use gold color to match the classic zigzag indicator styling traders recognize.
  • Combine with the Fibonacci tool to overlay key retracement levels on the swings.
