  Hi Lou,
   
  The DLL calls AB's Zig function, so it works 
  exactly the same way. If you were using the AB Zig function yourself, you 
  would specify a % change for it to use when drawing the legs. As I understand 
  it, the last leg is not locked in until it has travelled that % from 
  the last reversal (peak or trough), at which time it is confirmed, and so is 
  the last pivot point. Until then, it is capable of being redrawn, which 
  means you cant rely on the last leg or last pivot either. If my understanding 
  is wrong, hopefully someone will correct me.
   
  In my Zig, the DLL selects the % for you, and tells you what 
  % it arrived at in the title. The smaller red/green line uses that % to 
  calculate and show the level that the price must reach for the leg 
  to be confirmed. Once that level has been reached, the Zig line 
  changes color from blue to white to show that it has been 
  confirmed.
   
  Having said all that, it is important to realize that for my 
  Zig, if you select your test period to always include the latest data, it 
  is *possible* for the optimal % to change on any given day (though it doesnt 
  seem to happen all that often), which could result in peaks and troughs 
  that are different from those that the previous % had shown 
  you.

    Hi Steve -
    Ilike your Zig Zag but have a question.  As you know, 
    you can have an 'up-trend' and then the program can change it's mind and 
    decide there is a down-trend in effect.  Is there a way to judge at 
    what level the program will change it's mind?  Am still looking at your 
    new "optimized indicators", very good work.
