Zigzag length 12 vs 25 vs 50 (LuxAlgo-style)
What this means
This compared zigzag lengths of 12, 25 and 50 in a Python sim. Nothing was saved. Nothing can be concluded; a proper test would sweep the zigzag length in TradingView across the universe and compare mean setup R with confidence intervals.
The explanation is our best reading; the data shows the result but not the cause directly.
