Post From: ZigZag study: serious issue

It seems that a number of users have made comments about how the Zig Zag study does not calculate accurate swings in real time and a full recalculation needs to be down manually.

In the documentation, you have said-
"In the case of a chart bar where it creates a new low or new high for the current Zig Zag line and also triggers a reversal to start a new Zig Zag line, there can be a difference between the bar where the Zig Zag line reverses direction at between real-time updating of a chart and when a chart is fully recalculated like when selecting Chart >> Recalculate or modifying Study Settings.
There is no solution to this. This is inherently just a limitation of the study working with complete chart bars because the Zig Zag study does not know how the chart bar formed within during a full recalculation whereas it can during real-time updating."

Why can you not adjust the code to auto-execute the calculation following the close of each bar, or when a new potential ZZ point is reached?
