# GB' non-repaint ZigZag code

The changes & omissions are highlighted

PositionSize = 10000; // already in the HYBRID Strategy (position size used $10k) 

pr = .00001;

zzHiLo = Zig( c, pr );

pk = zzHiLo>Ref(zzHiLo,-1) AND zzHiLo>Ref(zzHiLo,1);

tr = zzHiLo<Ref(zzHiLo,-1) AND zzHiLo<Ref(zzHiLo,1);

SetTradeDelays(1,1,0,0);

BuyPrice=SellPrice=C; // redundant 

Buy = tr; // my buy condition (tr)

Sell = pk; // my sell condition (pk)

Plot(zzHiLo,"",colorgreen,styleLine); // changed to yellow for better visability

SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates); //Charting below

# Skate's condensed code

Other than Plotting it's basically the same code

_SECTION_BEGIN( "NonPainting" );

pr = .00001;

zzHiLo = Zig( c, pr );

pk = zzHiLo > Ref( zzHiLo, -1 ) AND zzHiLo > Ref( zzHiLo, 1 );

tr = zzHiLo < Ref( zzHiLo, -1 ) AND zzHiLo < Ref( zzHiLo, 1 );

Plot( zzHiLo, "", colorYellow, styleLine );

Buy = tr;

Sell = pk;

_SECTION_END();

Non-painting ZZ code Code 

[USER=9682]@Gringotts Bank[/USER] there is no discernable difference between your code & my simplified code.

NB

As you (GB) didn't specify a periodicity I backtested your Non-painting ZigZag code using "weekly parameters"

Skate.
