ZigZag Channel Help me please!

New comment
 
Hello everyone, I have modified the Fractal channel indicator by entering the ZigZag indicator, however, I would like to create a obliguo channel but the result is not as expected, you could give me some help?

Thank you

  1. val1 = iCustom(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, "ZIG ZAG NRP", 480, 4, 0, i); // ZigZag Upper
val2 = iCustom(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, "ZIG ZAG NRP", 480, 4, 0, i); // ZigZag Lower
    Same calls, how can they be different? You should write a self documenting function instead of calling iCustom directly, see Detailed explanation of iCustom - MQL4 forum
  2. Don't assume we can find your exact indicator, always post it or the link I Have Zig Zag Non Repaint Indicator!! A Programmer Needed To Optimize It! @ Forex Factory
  3. Never heard of "a obliguo channel"
  4. "Doesn't work" is meaningless - just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires - meaningless. There are no mind readers here.

why should not in its operation? With the ZigZag indicator and its oblique channel you can have a lot of information. I understand it's very difficult to program and I am a beginner, but certainly an oblique channel would be very useful.

Thanks, I will study better MQL4 code.




 

Now that you explained yourself with a picture.

  1. You can't use buffers to do that.
  2. You must get the last two, non-zero highs and last two non-zero lows from the zig zag. Then create or move two trendlines (with Ray=true) using those points.

Thanks for the answer, I will try to study the code to achieve my goal.
Thank you
