How to find the last two ZigZag values?

New comment
 

Dear forum,

I'm trying to get the previous two, fixed ZigZag values -- I've tried the method found here, but it doesn't seem to work. What I have now is this:

   for(int k = 1; k < Bars; k++){   // Get most recent ZigZag
      if(iCustom(NULL, 0, "ZigZag", Depth, 5, 3, k) > 0){
         ZigZag = iCustom(NULL, 0, "ZigZag", Depth, 5, 3, k);
         break;
         }
      }

   for(int z = 1; z < k; z++){   // Get second most recent ZigZag
      if(iCustom(NULL, 0, "ZigZag", Depth, 5, 3, z) > 0){
          ZigZagPrev = iCustom(NULL, 0, "ZigZag", Depth, 5, 3, z);
         break;
         }
      }

But the log is still showing "0.000000" for both values. Can anyone point out what's wrong?

Thanks for your help.

UPDATE :: This code, a modified version of the code from zzuegg's indicator, seems to do the trick:

      double SwingValue[2]={0,0};
      int Found = 0;
      int k = 0;
      while(Found <= 2){
         if(iCustom(NULL, 0, "ZigZag", Depth, 5, 3, 0, k) != 0){
            SwingValue[Found] = iCustom(NULL , 0, "ZigZag", Depth, 5, 3, 0, k);
            Found++;
         }
         k++;
      }
 

try bigger than 0 instead ( icustom > 0)

enotrek, thanks for the fast response! I modified my original post to include your suggestion. Unfortunately, it still isn't getting the values. Anything else you can think of?

Z, that code was a huge help. The log is showing the proper values. Thanks for answering my question! Unfortunately, my EA still isn't trading... but that's another question, I'll post that in a new topic. At least I'm getting the right the zigzag values =)

For anyone in the future searching the forum for this same question, the first post reflects the working piece of code.

 
thx a lot, thats just the problem i had to solve myself ...

i think it must be code with <>0 for a specific period.
