Great find. Can you please check why lines disappear sometimes when moving the chart around with many instances of the same indicator applied? When zooming in/out or scrolling back, the lines simply disappear, until I go into indicator settings and click apply/ok again.

Objects are drawn via Draw() function. I believe this is the reason.

I see. In this case, what is the solution? Is it possible to make this behavior go away? Can you re-write this indicator using same principle as “trend line helper” or something? Can this draw() function be fixed? This would make for a very good channel indicator if lines would not disappear

We can rewrite, use ouput core.drawLine and two output streams, or core.host:execute (“drawLine”…

Re: ZigZag Channel

This is perfect, thank you Apprentice, very good indicator I have a problem after adding it to a strategy, the following in the backtester:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Candleworks/FXTS2/Strategies/Custom/my_strat.lua:239: C:/Program Files (x86)/Candleworks/FXTS2/Indicators/Custom/ZigZag Channel with Output.lua (409, -1) : E19 - The first parameter must be a number
Strategy line code
Code: Select all
ZIGZAG_CHANNEL_WITH_OUTPUT:update(core.UpdateLast);
However this does not happen in Simulation Mode so I guess it shoudn’t be a problem live either
I am guessing it is to do with no candle history being available in backtester to draw the zigzag
Thank you

I can not help you without access to underlying strategy.
Re: ZigZag Channel
Cactus · Sun Feb 26, 2017 8:23 am
Ok! Here’s a sample strategy to demonstrate this problem I created using FX Wizard:
I have added a screenshot of the settings Running it on EUR/USD on the past week (13.02.2017 - 17.02.2017), I get the following error:
Code: Select all
C:/Program Files (x86)/Candleworks/FXTS2/Strategies/Custom/zig_output_channel_strat.lua:230: C:/Program Files (x86)/Candleworks/FXTS2/Indicators/Custom/ZigZag Channel with Output.lua (409, -1) : E19 - The first parameter must be a number
But when I do the same in “simualtion mode” (where there is more candle data available, not just the chosen range), the backtesting runs fine, but is very slow, and the equity looks like this: (with settings take_profit 0.1 and max_positions 100)
However, sometimes, with different settings, I get a similar error, just talking about “third parameter”
Also, can you please say what stream is “out” corresponding to? I understand “Top” and “Bottom”. But on chart there’s also “Up” and in FX Wizard there’s “out”. Is this causing the error? Or is it because I am checking every tick for updates? How can I fix this strategy to work in backtester?
Also, I mostly rely on FX Wizard to create my strategies, would you be so kind to inspect the code and advice on any changes I should perform every time, since it’s the same template every time, I want to know if there’s a better way of writing strategies, since the project has not been updated in a while. By “better” I mean without unecessary code, more efficient, optimal, etc. For example, I like to use (ask + bid / 2) price = median. In this strategy I use this indicator and BB. I have two BB (1 ask and 1 bid) and perform the median calculation to get one reading. I also have “mid_tick” which is the median price, I am sure I could replace the BB source with mid_tick instead of calculating it twice, one for ask and one for bid and dividing by two… And stuff like that.
All suggestions and comments are welcome please.
This strategy uses 3 timeframes: tick, m1, m15
Thanks

Can you add a version of the “ZigZag Channel with Output” with a see historical option. The same as it is in “AUTOLEV3” indicator (The Lookback) paramter. So that we can draw many zigzag channels without applying the same indicator many times which slows down marketscope when there’s a lot. Currently one zigzag indicator instance = 2 trendlines, but can you add a parameter to see historical also where it is possible to have many trendlines with just one indicator instance applied on chart? Thank you

Ok. So can the same be done using core.host:execute (“drawLine” So “ZigZag Channel with Output_Mult.lua” version but with no output streams, just lines, for less lag?
I know it may sound like I am asking the reverse of previous request but both of these can be useful, streams version for strategies, and the one I am requesting now as visual help
I know it may be a case of just replacing core.drawLine so I will give it a go and if I can implement it I will post it here
So far trying something like this
Code: Select all
core.host:execute("drawLine", Top[index], tx2, ty2, source:date(source:size()-1), Y1, Color, Style, Width); but no luck
Also if you got the time, can a Tick ZigZag Channel with Output.lua with same multiple lookback see historical option get done, like I explained here:

TICK ZIGZAG CHANNEL WITH OUTPUT
found an issue/bug affecting “Zig Zag Line Style” - specifically “Down swing” (Line) performance
currently both “Up swing” (Line) and “Down swing” (Line) default/focus is on “Bid”
- “Up swing” (Line) works well
- “Down swing” (Line) does not perform as well
can you default/focus “Down swing” (Line) onto “Ask ?
————- If possible, an Alert Feature https://youtu.be/hJaT-Zrd9Nk
“Up swing” (Line)/”Down swing” (Line) cross - (user-defined) equal or greater than “touch” eg: +0.0, +0.1, .. +1.0 etc
after each “Line Style” Up/Down repaint - counter resets to “0”
after user defined “N” crosses - triggers Alert
additional Alerts with each additional “touch” - until next repaint, and counter resets
Alert Symbol (Wingdings 116 pls) and Sound - no email or dialogue-box Feature needed
Have been using “Up swing” Line cross on a scalping strategy - works well
Thanks

Can you pls have a look at the original “Tick ZigZag Channel with Output.lua” indicator - appears there is “Down Line” calculation issue
“Down Line” calculation - does not paint the same (reciprocally) as “UpLine” calculation (an important functionality)
If there is a fix, it would be very much appreciated
Note ———-
the same “Down Line” calculation issue also appears to occur with “Tick_ZigZag_Channel_with_Output.lua”
-
“Up Line” alert function does work (some bugs thou)
-
“Down Line” alert function does not work at all - price never appears to cross “Down Line” (different calculation ?)
getting “Tick ZigZag Channel with Output.lua” to work is a more important fix
many Thx

Hey Apprentice Can you make some adjustments to ZigZag Channel with Output_Mult.lua
Add a long-term zigzag channel if channel. Long term-trend needs to create a lower high in a downtrend and long-term uptrend would create a higher low. Current price on that timeframe would need to close against zigzag channel the high/low of zigzag channel where trend started. Horizontal line to be added from the candle long-term trend started. if new long term trend zigzag channel was create in same direction to stop lines on chart have option to show last or show all. To have colour and line option for current & long-term and historical zigzag channel, for long- term zigzag channel and historical zigzag channel and current zigzag channel long term would stay until new same direction long term then old long term would become historical. Add Horizontal line to alert on touch and closed against. Add pip swing count and high/low and mid of current swing.This would be for 5min and above not tick Link below Thankyou in advance Susan

Hi Apprentice, The long term down trend = A swing to the downside with a zigzag pullback data to be taken from the high at point 1 and the 1st zigzag pull back point 2, And add horizontals from the point high point. The long term up trend = A swing to the upside with a zigzag pullback data to be taken from the low at point 1 and the 1st zigzag pull back point 2, And add horizontals from the point high point.
Current price on that timeframe would need to close against zigzag channel the high/low horizontal of zigzag channel where trend started. Horizontal line to be added from the candle long-term trend started. if new long term trend zigzag channel was create in same direction to stop lines on chart have option to show last or show all. To have colour and line option for current & long-term and historical zigzag channel, for long- term zigzag channel and historical zigzag channel and current zigzag channel long term would stay until new same direction long term then old long term would become historical. Add Horizontal line to alert on touch and closed against. Add pip swing count and high/low and mid of current swing.
Hope this helps you understand with more details to the screen shot thanks in advance Susan

Hi Apprentice, Just had a look and its printing high & low of different swing. What I want is when price makes a higher low for long from point 1 then has a zigzag printed pullback creating point 2 to draw a trend line from point 1 to point 2 and draw a horizontal till end only draw if this happens. When price makes a lower high for short from point 1 then has a zigzag printed pullback creating point 2 to draw a trend line from point 1 to point 2 and draw a horizontal till end only draw if this happens. as condition repeat would keep drawing trend line from point 1 to point 2 and the horizontal line from point 1 until price closed below the low of point 1 1st low of higher low, and closed above the high of point 1 1st high of higher low also the need the current zigzag channel from the last 2 swings please, the current high low and mid of the current printed swing and pips count id amount of pips in that printed swing can be found ZigZag with Fibonacci.lua hope this clarifies my request Susan

Re: TICK ZIGZAG CHANNEL WITH OUTPUT
Could you please check the “Down Line” calculation - is it the same as the “Up Line” calculation (reciprocally) ?
They appear not to be - see attachment
-“Up Line” - works great, and is part of a successful Long-scalp Strategy -“Down Line” - should be reciprocal to “Up Line” performance - it is not (could you pls look at the calculation)
Originally I thought it was a “Bid” / “Ask” issue - I now believe this is incorrect (Re: TICK_ZIGZAG_CHANNEL_WITH_OUTPUT) …. my apologies
What is important (to me) is to have TICK ZIGZAG CHANNEL WITH OUTPUT “Up Line” and “Down Line” performance to be identical (reciprocally) - if this is possible ?
Re: TICK_ZIGZAG_CHANNEL_WITH_OUTPUT ……. (can wait, has more issues to fix)

Hi Apprentice, Thanks, you got the idea what I want still need adjustments. Need to have long-term trend lines look for data from the 1st pullback and every time there was a pullback, Thinks we to insist x =amount of pullback in % required otherwise chart would clutter up with irrelevant lines. To have option to show all or last x = amount of long-term trend to show. The horizontal lines from the long –term trends to be from point 1 every time a long-term trend created with x= amount of % pullback. I put the lookback to 1000 and still only printed the last 2, No historical either can you also add colour and line option for long term & historical trend up & down ,If you can also put back the original indicator that shows the last 2 swings as my request was to be added to the ZZ Channel. The current swing created for high /low and mid, what I should have explained the previous swing completed for the high/low and mid and the amount of pips from the high/low or low/ high. And there’s a number on the top don’t know what that is thanks for your work on this topic Susan

For the down swing line and colour option for long term separate for historical separate for current trend. 3.For the up swings on long term trend, historical and current data to be taken from bid price 4. For the up swing line and colour option for long term separate for historical separate for current trend. 5. The pip count to be on the last completed swing and draw a line high ,low and mid points 6. And lastly noticed that a trend line is drawn b4 the zigzag has been drawn on current trend can this be set to once new zigzag created a higher low as per screen shot Thanks again for all hard work gone into this to getting right for me Susan

Upswingdata to be taken from a bid price source and a Downswingdata to be taken from a ask price currently other way round please can you change round 2. Thinks the current trend line is created when it has retracted more then % pullback but no ZigZag been created if you can add current swing as in the original version of the indicator (with no pullback required on current swing) this should eliminate this problem and we get the requested current swing in as well 3.

Hi Apprentice, Have tried putting x3 indicators using different time frames on but seems to slow the platform down when switching to different currency pairs. And the able/disable of the pullback didn’t make a difference, still didn’t print the last 2 high points or last 2 low point zigzag channel as per previous screen shot.

When you set “Use poolback” to false the old version of the code is used. Coding 3 timeframes into one indicator will not be any faster. It’s likely that it’ll be even slower. And I don’t understand 2high/low part

Hi Apprentice, When disable the pullback it disables on the long term and historical long term as well, is there a way can only disable the last 2 swings printed on the zigzag channel have a separate line and colour option. And would you be able to add x 3 % extensions above and below the last competed zigzag swing where we have the high low and mid-point and lastly can you make the label for the pip count of the completed zigzag swing larger and to the decimal point eg; currently sometimes shows 18.4440 to show 18.4 Thanks so much Susan

With the % extension we need x3 % extensions levels for above the high of the last completed swing eg; 1.272% and 1.50% 1.618% and x3 % extensions levels for below the low of last completed swing -1.272% and -1.50% and -1.618%. As in previous screenshot as when tested this version it put both % extensions at bottom of swing and I used the + & - on the % extensions. If you make these adjustments Thanks Susan

Here is a simple strategy for Tick Chart Entries
to be used with - download/file.php?id=27469
currently tuned for CFD’s - US30 works well, and to be used with other indicators (for confirmation)
Note: there is a bug - Indicator will back-repaint to a previously displayed position - appears to depend on how price advances
here is a short video example of the bug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXusifC … e=youtu.be
to duplicate bug - pls use US30 and settings displayed on attached example (tick-chart) during an active period - NY session
if you could take a look, and if possible fix - would make the indicator even better
thanks

Hi Apprentice, the percentage extensions are there in the parameters setting but not for above and below (only one set) on the last completed zigzag. When you apply in parameters, nothing is drawn on the chart Hope u can fix this Susan

Hi Apprentice , The extension levels are there. When I put my levels in they have no relevance to the percentage entered needs to calculated from the last completed swing for example if we entered 150% as a level, the 100% would be in the last completed zigzag and the extension level to be drawn outside the last completed zigzag of 50% of last swing and when calculating the other end of the last completed zigzag might need to use the – so the level to input -1.50% Thanks in advance Susan

Hello,
have been using ZigZag Channel (line option) to look for possible entries - works well with other confirming indicators
however, there is an undesired feature/bug - the “Line” option of the indicator - occasionally it will repaint to a previously painted position (back-repainting) - eg: https://youtu.be/pTq6bwpDZX0
to duplicate: I have attached the settings used - try the indicator with these setting on the US30 during an active period - NY open 09:30 ET
appreciate you having a look
Thx

Actually, it’s a feature of this indicator. It should do that because the latest leg no longer satisfy for the line to be drawn at that spot. And it jumps at the latest spot where all conditions are satisfied.
Re: ZigZag Channel

re: “Line Style” feature
unfortunately “And it jumps at the latest spot where all conditions are satisfied” is an undesired feature on tick-charts - jumps frequently during active Mrkts
is it possible (at least on Tick-charts) to defeat this feature ? or to add a check-box that defeats this feature (on Tick-charts) ?
where the “Line” will not jump (backwards), and holds in place until the next (forward) valid set of conditions are met ?
If you could take a look - that would be great
Thanks

The attachment ZigZag Channel with Output.lua is no longer available
Hey Apprentice & Team, ZigZag Channel with output.lua (Not the tick version) Can you add some horizontal candle keylevel to this indicator ZigZag Channel with output.lua (Not the tick version) Would have top/bottom of swings from the open of the reversal candle and also would mark out were price had a pullback. Show last completed and current swing in the making, Also if can have an option to show x=amount of historical swings to get data from for levels. Need line and colour option for buyers /sellers and structure high/low and different for pullback keylevel. And add levels from the last completed swing wick high/low and mid point with pip count and add x3 extention above & below last levels as per the Zigzag channel with output_mult indicator on the forum.
Downswing (pullback) Data info defined for biased downward move creating a buyers candle then sellers candle after to continuing with downward movement. Down Swing data would take from open of sellers candle
Upswing (pullback) Data info defined for biased upward move creating a sellers candle then buyers candle after to continuing with upward movement Up Swing data would take from open of buyers candle
The line to start on the candle
Thanks in advance Arfs

Hi Apprentice From the Zigzag channel with Output_Mult.lua posted 29.3.20 with fib extensions and mid structure levels can you change, instead of using the high /low to use the open of the 1st sellers candle for down swing and the open of the 1st buyers candle in upswing
thanks Minifire

I don’t understand what high/low should we replace.
Can you clarify, “open of the 1st sellers candle for down swing and the open of the 1st buyers candle in upswing” provide a chart example?

Hi Apprentice, Instead of the data to be taken from the candle wick high or candle wick low to plot the zigzag, can you take data from the open price of the 1st reversal sellers candle for downswings and for upswings take data from the open price of the 1st reversal buyers candle for upswings Hope this clarifies the request Thanks in advance Minifire

Hi Apprentice Is it possible to only allow to print the new version of indicator only when the original zigzag high /low data has created a swing within a swing than print the new version? thanks in advance Minifire

Re: ZigZag Channel
minifire18 · Mon Jan 11, 2021 9:23 am
Hi Apprentice, The request for the task is IF the High Low data zigzag creates a higher low (example 1) then the new version to print from previous high to the higher low IF the High Low data zigzag creates a lower high (example 2)then the new version to print from previous low to the lower high they are the only two conditions for the new version to print the fib extension levels hope this helps to understand the request Minifire
