zigzag problem

[Creamers]

It seems to me that in the section of the zigzag indicator "#region Miscellaneous" there is a function missing!!

I can use

public int HighBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int lookBackPeriod)

But

public int LowBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int lookBackPeriod)

Does not work! It gives me the low of my last candle!

For both functions the instance is also not working. It's not giving me the previous zigzag high.


What am I doing wrong, or what could be te problem?

Ok thx in advance !


double swingbar3 = (Low[Math.Min(0, ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 1.75, true).LowBar(0,1,500))]);

Print("2# swingbar Low" + swingbar3);

Does not show me the previous swinglow price (as with the swinghigh), but the low of the forming candle.

Your code won't work simply because of the use of Math.Min(). If ZigZag() returns any number other than its -1 state it your Math.Min() will force it to 0 because 0 will always be lower than any bar #. In terms of the -1 state everything will become screwed up because you will now be referencing LOW[-1].

You will want to use Math.Max as shown in the Help Guide article for ZigZag.

thx

Damn, My Fault !!!! I really thought there was a function missing, but thanks very much!!

ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 1.75, true).LowBar(0,1,500)
LowBar(x, instance , x)

How to use LowBar if I want (not the last) but second last swing bar? Alter instance ?

Yea. Alter the instance.
