hi Mike

not certain i understand this correctly

i'm w nonCLR and i've modified ZZ study from ACS_Source

gd lck


Looks right.

FT71 has research on the most common reversal level and places lines at those levels as well. I'll try your version since the spreadsheet version posted earlier was causing trouble with my machine for unknown reasons.

I've seen some parts of the webinar and now this is a bit clearer

Definitely because of "Evil Empire" (C#)

no prblm

i've added some comments for my part of the code

FYI, *.dll had been built on Linux.
so the headers are compatible for cross compiling

Would it be difficult to have it paint the histogram in real time? In other words, start calculating the distance from the last swing and painting that as we go instead of waiting for the new swing to form. I realize this will be subject to repainting should we start calculating and the prior swing be changed before a new swing is formed.

If it's the spreadsheet version you are using, then use these formulas instead:

K3: =IF(N3="Up",E3-M4,0)
L3: =IF(N3="Dn",E3-M4,0)

These formulas will paint the histogram real time, but could repaint it several bars back if the zigzag changes.

No I was using the DLL, the spreadsheet version crashed (not responding) Sierra. Probably my fault as I mentioned before, but was easier to just use the DLL.
