Hi,

I'm running zigzag on an 8 range chart of ES, based on last for input high and input low, calc mode 3, and reversal 1.5, ie 6 ticks, and I'm getting a different plot after recalculating.

To illustrate, I ran this morning's session through the simulator, took a screenshot, then recalculated and took another screenshot. Please see attached.

I'm also attaching a screenshot of the zigzag settings.

The result after recalculating matches a similar chart in another trading package.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Phil
