Hi,
I have version 1294 and i created a new renko chart and added zig zag on it. The line does not show and if it appears, it disappears as soon as i change any inputs.

What is happening?

If you scroll the chart back in time, do you see any part of the Zig Zag line?

What is the particular study Input you are changing which causes it to disappear?

changing the calculation mode to 3 makes the study disappear and it shows nothing. At method 1 it works but i need method 3.

I just managed to make it work. I simply dropped down the study in the study list so it was under all the others and it worked... Now we know...

This will not change the functioning of that study. There must be some other reason.

Here is the documentation for the Zig Zag study:

Check the settings which Calculation Mode 3 depends upon.

Got the same error. If you change the default Color ZigZag Line Using... from None to whatever and then change it back to none it disappears.

We see this occurring and need some time to look into it.

We fixed an issue with the selection of Color Zig Zag Line Using where the selection of None after selecting another item was not changing the color of the Zig Zag line back to the original color.

We are not able to reproduce the original issue for this post where changing certain inputs would make the line disappear, which we think was related to the above fix.

This change will be in the next Pre-Release (v 2423).
