It's only because I'm use Metastock(MS) from a long time
I'm have in MS my favorite formula and he start with the formula below
And I would use the same formula in Amibroker.
How translate It?
Thank
YLTech
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indic := CCI(21) ;
YL:= If(Indic>100,100, {give me the Top }
If(Indic<-100,-100,Indic)) ; {give me the Bottom }
yl; {my CCI }
Zig(YL,200,%) ; {my ZigZag }
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merci

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Problem with the ZIG
Yves,
I think that there may be a misunderstanding on how Zig works. The second
parameter that you pass to the Zig function is the minimum percentage
retracement before a new pivot will be recognized.
For example; If you said Zig(Close, 5), then a new peak can only occur once
Close has climbed *at least* 5% above the last trough, it may ultimately climb
to infinity, but it must be at least 5%. Similarly, a new trough can only occur
once the Close has fallen by *at least* 5% since the last peak, it may
ultimately fall as much as 100%.
Now, consider that when you have fixed the valid range to be between 900 and
1100, then the largest move possible is 200.
Note the following:
200/900 = 22.22%
200/1100 = 18.18%
Therefore, if you try to pass any value greater than 22.22 to Zig, you will
*never* get a new peak, since YL can never be greater than 1.2222 * 900 = 1100.
Similarly, if you try to pass any value greater than 18.18 to Zig, you will
*never* get a new trough, since YL can never be less than (1 - 0.1818) * 1100 =
900.
Ignore Zig for a moment, and describe what it is that you want to happen.
