Hello cbadr,

Thank you for your post.

You can get the High bar of the last ZigZag High and Low bar of the last ZigZag Low using ZigZag().HighBar() and ZigZag.LowBar().

Please see the ZigZag help guide page:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/zigzag.htm

ZigZag(DeviationType deviationType, double deviationValue, bool useHighLow).HighBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int lookBackPeriod)

ZigZag(DeviationType deviationType, double deviationValue, bool useHighLow).LowBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int lookBackPeriod)

These will return the number of bars ago the ZigZag high or low occurred.

To get the actual bar number, you could subtract ZigZag().HighBar() or ZigZag().LowBar() from CurrentBar.

Please let us know if we can assist further.

Thanks for the reply,

so if i want to have the bar number of the second last ZigZagLow i would do something like this?:

CurrentBar-ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 0.5, true).LowBar(0, 2, 100);

Hello cbadr,

Yes, this would be correct. Use a 2 as the instance parameter to find the second previous high or low instance.
