The one guy who might have the MS code is Spyros. He's one of the 
world's top experts on the zig zag. He stopped using MS about a year 
ago, but maybe he has the code.

consider myself a very competent formula writer.  I always wondered 
how the zig zag formula was created.  It seems straight forward 
enough.  I think if I spend enough time on it I could figure it out 
totally.  Part of the problem is that I am a active player in the 
market and there just isn't enough time in the day.  Thanks for being 
honest with your limitations.  If I come up with the formula I will 
post it.  For now I will just move on.  Good luck to all and keep 
building the most profitable trading system.
