PowerBasic PB/DLL Compiler Version 6. I got their first 16-bit DLL compiler from
PowerBasic in the mid 1990's and have upgraded as they release new

<DIV><FONT size=2>The issue is not calculating the retracements, but being able
to duplicate the values in MetaStock's Zig-Zag function. I have
programmed what I think is the retracement based on the daily Close, but my
values do not agree with the values in MetaStock using the their Zig-Zag and the
Data Window. I was looking for someone to share code with me that would
produce the same values that MetaStock produces. </FONT></DIV>
