The zigzag fractal is actually a zigzag strategy that uses the basis of the fractal indicator, meaning that we manually create the highs and lows of a period based on the formation of down and up fractals.

This only applies to large time frames, if in small time frames like H1 the fractals appear too often

the zigzag signal that appears on the H4 time frame is then added to the fractal signal to increase the opportunity and level of accuracy

As far as I know, the Fractal Zigzag is a method for determining market structure that combines fractal indicators to mark swing highs and swing lows, then arranges them in a zigzag pattern to more clearly map price movements. This method allows traders to identify valid highs and lows based on descending and ascending fractals, allowing for more objective and accurate reading of trends, corrections, and potential reversals.
