A friend asked me why he
can not trade with the Zig indicator.
I answered: "Because it
looks into the future."
He said, "What does that
really mean?"
I said: "It looks into the
future."
He said,
"Huh".
Can someone explain,
without using the words "It looks into the future", why the Zig indicator can
not work.
How is it coded
internally? What makes it work--plot that is?"
I found some code on my
hard drive from 2004 called "Zig Zag Safe to Use". I will copy the code
below.
Why does this code say that
it is "Safe to Use"?
What do you look at, what
does the several adjustment values do, that makes it safe?
Any explanations in
english, that are easy to understand?
Will this code be safe to
trade?
Thanks,
Ken
