@Skate @Gringottsbank Will try to BT GB code but busy making an offer on a property, and workshops all day on a socially busy week as well
Could take me weeks but will try
When i personally tried using a zz indicator based system of my ownyears ago, i was well aware of the looking forward issue and so worked on it and was expected to have solved it..but my short trial was a failure, after 3 runs aka 3 weeks, some signals diseappear new ones popped up in the past month..you give some room for human error .maybe i mistyped or was confused but issue kept repeatingLooking forward to your thoughts Frog as someone who sold a system using this type of indicator (modified from the known future leak of the AB zigzag indicator) was removed from purchase. Although saying that, I've no idea if it was removed because of zigzag directly or some other reason.

Below is an updated equity chart of the 20% Flipper
Glad to see you're still rabbiting on about it...what's it been? 10+ years?
Well isn't that interesting, a ZZ code with no future leak. Skate spent 10 posts arguing that it was impossible, too good to be true, danger!/beware! And yet it can be used, as I said.Glad to see you're still rabbiting on about it...what's it been? 10+ years?
FYI, my code does not have a future leak. All strategies from Unholy Grails were removed from the site several years ago, mainly for liquidity reasons. Below is an updated equity chart of the 20% Flipper.
And as a goodwill gesture, here is how you code the ZZ (20% Flipper) without a future leak
//-------------
function flipper_func(trail)
{
trailArray[ 0 ] = C[ 0 ];
for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
prev = (round(100*(trailArray[ i - 1 ])))/100;
if (C[ i ] > prev AND C[ i - 1 ] > prev)
{
trailArray[ i ] = Max(prev,0.8*H[ i ]);
}
else if (C[ i ] < prev AND C[ i - 1 ] < prev)
{
trailArray[ i ] = Min(prev,1.2*L[ i ]);
}
else if (C[ i ] == prev AND C[ i - 1] < prev)
{
trailArray[ i ] = 0.8*H;
}
else if (C[ i ] == prev AND C[ i - 1 ] > prev)
{
trailArray[ i ] = 1.2*L[ i ];
}
else if (C[ i ] < prev AND C[ i] > 1.2*L [ i ])
{
trailArray[ i ] = 0.8*H;
}
else if (C[ i ] > prev AND C[ i] < 0.8*H [ i ])
{
trailArray[ i ] = 1.2*L;
}
else if (C[ i ] < prev AND C[ i - 1 ] > prev)
{
trailArray[ i ] = 1.2*L[ i ];
}
else if (C[ i ] > prev)
{
trailArray[ i ] = 0.8*H[ i ];
}
else if (C[ i ] < prev)
{
trailArray[ i ] = 1.2*L[ i ];
}
else
{
trailArray[ i ] = 1.2*L[ i ];
}
}
return trailArray;
}
trail = 1;
trailArray = flipper_func(trail);

I remember now why I gave up on these forums years ago...back to real life

Sigh. Every time I try to communicate with others I’m reminded of why I don’t do it often.
ZIGZAG Locates the exact pivot points by either looking ahead or looking back, but also changes previous pivots based on new data. Always has and always will and It's probably the only indicator that does this. It's used in many systems like wave counting and it does it's job perfectly.
The ZiGZag Indicator
Straight off the bat, I should say the ZigZag function is useful during the strategy development phase as it graphically presents the main trend with great clarity. The ZigZag function should never be used in trading or backtesting as the signals keep repainting when more data is received. The repainting is due to the dynamic nature of this function, therefore, the backtest results can be highly misleading. It's important to remember when backtesting a strategy great care should be taken to exclude any revisable parameters ensuring the backtest results are valid & accurate.
You should test my code, rather than quote what some website says. Enter the argument fairly and honestly. So far, I am the only one who has done that.Ok .... i cheated, but so does ZIGZAG.
Amibroker, MetaStock and others have it in their core set of indicators to use (and abuse). I'm only talking about these ones, not other implementations.

Both AB and MS have strong caveats about using it.
