Quick question on a piece of code..

New comment
 

Why would FoundFirst always be equal the Low fractal and never update if a high fractal gets updated on this ZigZag scan...

 

      int FoundHigh=0;
      int FoundLow=0;
      double FoundFirst=0;
      int k=0;
      while(FoundHigh<=2 && FoundLow<=2) // LAST x ZIGZAG FRACTALS
        {
         double fractal=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"ZigZag",ExtDepth,ExtDeviation,ExtBackstep,0,k);
         if(fractal==High[k]) // High[counter]
           {
            FU[FoundHigh]=fractal;
            if(FoundFirst==0 && FoundHigh==0 && FoundLow==0) FoundFirst=fractal;
            FoundHigh++;
           }
         if(fractal==Low[k]) // Low[counter]
           {
            FL[FoundLow]=fractal;
            if(FoundFirst==0 && FoundLow==0 && FoundHigh==0) FoundFirst=fractal;
            FoundLow++;
           }
         
         k++;
        }
 
Did you look at the chart? Which Symbol() and Period()?
 



in this chart you will find FL[0] = FoundFirst... is there any logic to this ?

Print variable values before and inside if statements and find out why.

 Interesting chart. It isn't M1, is it?


 

What is the code for the Comment()?

You will have something like

"FoundFirst="+FoundFirst

 Have you perhaps modified a copy & paste and mistakenly coded

"FoundFirst="+FL[0]
 

I have tried adding a few things to the code and still only getting the first Lower Fractal.. any other clues??

 

I have tried looking at the results from the Print statements and decided to try and add a few things to the code.. .still not working... is only grabbing the first Lower fractal...

 

      int FoundHigh=0;
      int FoundLow=0;      
      int k=0;
      while(FoundHigh<=2 && FoundLow<=2) // LAST x UPPER ZIGZAG FRACTALS
        {
         double fractal=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"ZigZag",ExtDepth,ExtDeviation,ExtBackstep,0,k);
         if(fractal==High[k]) // High[counter]
           {
            FU[FoundHigh]=fractal;
            FoundHigh++;
           }
         if(fractal==Low[k]) // Low[counter]
           {
            FL[FoundLow]=fractal;
            FoundLow++;
           }
        //if (fractal !=0 && FoundFirst == 0) FoundFirst=fractal;
         //Print( "FoundFirst=",FoundFirst," FL[FoundLow]=",FL[FoundLow]," FL[FoundHigh]=",FL[FoundHigh]);
         k++;
        }
      
      double FoundFirst=0;  
      int BarCount=0;
      while(BarCount <= Bars)
         {
           if(High[BarCount] == FU[0]) {FoundFirst=FU[0]; break;}
           if(Low[BarCount] == FL[0]) {FoundFirst=FL[0]; break;}
           BarCount++;
         }

unfortunately no...

no thats a renko chart.. check it out .. http://bit.ly/1mHQwr0 
 

Found my mistake... the logic is right but on the comparison in the if statement i used just "=" and not "=="...

 

wrong ---   if(FoundFirst=FL[0])
              {

right ---   if(FoundFirst==FL[0])
              {

 

so the value changed.. thank you guys!!

I did not notice it was from the tester. You are probably using some tool to align open price to close price, which distorts the chart.
