1st comment.
It can not be used for backtesting for two reasons : 
a.It searches the last available trendline pair and
b. It uses Peak/Trough functions which look into the future, as 
derivatives of zig.
The posted example describes exactly this situation. The 
last "visible" peak was not detected two bars later...
