ZigZag Indicator Customization Help

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello fiddich,

This would indicate that your variable is not a series and instead a double. A double is a single number that has a decimal. A series is a collection like an array that holds an integer value for each bar on the chart.

With a double this would not have a value for each bar on the chart.
Instead you are going to need custom logic to store the value from 5 bars ago to that or a different double variable and then not change the value for 5 bars so that this can be used 5 bars later.

I already have custom logic that stores the value from 5 bars ago and a variable storing which bar it occurred on (if needed).

What I'm wondering is if I have all that, where within the ZigZag code would I insert those variables in order to plot let's say 5 bars previous? That's all I need to know. Thanks.

Hello fiddich,

I think you would be setting the plot values.. like Values[0][5] = myVariableHere.
