Hello deviltrader,

The error you are getting is because the indicator can't be serialized in the workspace which means saved. Public properties need to be able to be saved as a string so items like Brushes cant be saved. I see that you have a brush serializer property but you didn't add [XmlIgnore] to your brush property, that would be one reason why that error happens.

ZigZagColor needs [XmlIgnore]

You also have some public variables which could be made private, these don't need saved with the workspace because they are not a User Input.

public int dir; // direction of current zigzag trend, 1=up, -1=down
public int lasthibar; // bar number of last swing high (bars ago = CurrentBar-lasthibar)
public int lastlobar; // bar number of last swing low
public double lasthi; // value of last swing high
public double lastlo; // value of last swing low
