[amibroker] Re: need assistance in generating buy signal with zig indicator

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

1. You cannot trade a system that uses Zig unless you correct the signals to no longer be looking into the future. What you have now *looks into the future*, just be aware of that.

2. Zig is the name of a function, you cannot use it without providing the function arguments.

e.g.
Condition1 = Zig > Ref(Zig, -1); <-- this is wrong

Instead do

PZig = Zig(P, change);
Condition1 = PZig > Ref(PZig, -1);
