MT3 indicator to MT4

New comment
 
Hi,

can someone please help to convert the MT3 HistoFractalZigZag indicator to MT4 please? The code is below.

thanks
---------------

/*[[
Name := HistoZZ
Separate Window := Yes
First Color := Red
First Draw Type := Histogram
First Symbol := 217
Use Second Data := No
Second Color := Red
Second Draw Type := Line
Second Symbol := 218
]]*/
Input : Level(2),nBars (400),BuildChanel(0);
Variable : shift(0), zz0(0), zzlast(0);

SetLoopCount(0);
For shift=nBars Downto 0 Begin
zz0=iCustom("ZigZag",Level,nBars,BuildChanel,MODE_FIRST,shift);
if (zz0 > 0) then zzlast = zz0);
SetIndexValue(shift, zzlast);
End;
 
Jo,

Let me know if this works how you would expect, i.e. consistent with MT3 results.
