Would/could you please activate the +/- options
that is there for if the ZigZag is positive or negative.

I just don't know how to program/write it.
Unfortunately I am old and not that smart.
You are.

I am secure enough to resort to begging if need be.

Thank you either way.

You can color the lines based on slope, which should give you the equivalent functionality. Just set the Input option for Color ZigZag Line Using to Slope. Then it will use the Primary color for positive sloping lines, and the Secondary color for negative sloping lines. Refer to the following:

Thank you.

If the number on top is negative then it shows negative delta on an up swing.
I am using Ask Bid Volume Difference for that. I want the number to print
a negative color (Red or whatever) if it is. Whether on an up swing
or down. To be able to take note of it. (Visual/Delta divergence)

As shown in the snapshot where arrow is pointing.

This is also supported already as the default functioning for the display of the text values. Just change your colors for that subgraph (Text Labels) from black to other colors.

This is referenced in the documentation here:
Zig Zag: Display HH,HL,LL,LH Labels

Please, please forgive me for saying this.
It does not work. I actually tried a long time ago as well.

When I asked about it in support before they said
it is not supported.

I wanted to, but did not comment back to them as to why not?
Even though I thought to myself it does say Based on +/-
as an option.

PS I just figured I would ask again. Why I brought up the pegging part in first post
on this thread.

PSS I am on 1881.

Sorry, you are correct, this is not supported. The coloring is based on whether it is an upswing or a downswing, not on the value of the volume.

All we can say is that we are very behind on getting things like this done, as there are just a lot of other priorities right now.
