Ideal ZigZag ...

A versions of ideal ZigZag coded by TheXpert

It is using a minimal distance in points from peak to peak instead (it does not work as a classical ZigZag that metatrader 5 has)

very disappointed...

it's incredible for me, I cannot backtest an indicator using mt5.

In the past I used the (absurd) trick of call an ea with the same name of a model...but now it doesn't work at all.

Worse than this is unthinkable for me!!!

I tried it now and it works as before for me. So all I did is save the template under the same name as the EA I tested and when I started with "Visualization" checked it worked.

What Build of mt5 you are using? Mine is 674

very strange mine is 655, how is it possible?

mt5 doesn't automatically update? (i'm using activtrades ecn)

It seems so. I am using it on their metaquotes demo account (not on an actual broker)

ok, I did download the platform from metaquotes, and it was at 655 than it started the update to 674, so now I have your same version...but why, if I attach a BB to the chart, this is not visible during the backtest?

why only some indys are visible (on tick mode)?

You are right. Tested some setups in a all tick mode, and it is anything but perfect. Sometimes I see some indicators, sometimes I don't. Sometimes indicators are refreshed as the should, sometimes they are not. It seems that the shorter the tested time frame the bigger the problems are.

1 minute ohlc bar mode works, but with tick mode there is definitively some big problems (bugs)
