Jayson,So are you saying that t1 in my example below is not really 
t1 until p exceeds the set % level,<FONT 
color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2> Correct, Zig may draw the line but it may 
also erase that line prior to hitting the % level
 
  if this is so, can t1 even 
be called trough(close,1,1) while p has not hit set % level?<SPAN

<FONT 
face=Arial>An unconfirmed trough.  The problem with zig is that 
looking at a chart it is ALWAYS right, but while the chart is tracing a newleg 
that leg is open to change. Do not try to back test a system based on 
zig because the results will not reflect how trades 
would develop in RT. It is a great tool 
for fib studies but it can get you in a whole lot of trouble if you do not 
understand how it works.
