[User Discussion] - Help Rounding the Total Volume in the Zig Zag Study

Can anyone tell me how to round the total volume values in the zig zag study. For example in the ES, the total volume swing of say "275556" would be rounded to "275" or "276". This would be much easier to read. Thank you.

The ZigZag study in part is similar to the Weis Wave, and the volume divisor is part of the WW that's available on other platforms. There was a discussion about the WW a long time ago on this forum (it's probably on the old support board) and what you see on the current ZigZag study includes a lot of that discussion/requests. About a year ago I commissioned a programmer to basically write the equivalent of the Weis Wave for me to use on SC which is what you're seeing from that screenshot. Given that I paid for that development I'm not prepared to share it. As I said, the current ZigZag study is now very close to what I have. I'm not a programmer and would not know how much work is involved, but it can be done.

It can be done easily with the Spreadsheet Study study: 1) In the ZZ study, -Set Additional Output for Spreadsheets to Yes -Set Calculate Zigzag Volume to Yes -Set Display Zigzag Volume to No 2) Add the Spreadsheet Study study, -Set the Chart Region to 1 -Give it a name in the Spreadsheet Name field -Set the Draw Style of K(SG1) to Value on High -Set the Draw Style of L(SG2) to Value on Low -On the spreadsheet: cell K3: =IF(AD3>0,AE3/$K$1,0) cell L3: =IF(AD3<0,AE3/$K$1,0) =cell K1: the volume divisor The formulas assume the ZZ study's Line Length is in column AD, and the AccumulatedVolume is in column AE. Requires v1090.

SierraChart - Can you please implement the rounding feature as suggested? Thank you.

Here is a custom ZigZag Study, the same as the SC ZigZag Study, but it has an input for "ZigZag_VolumeDivisor". Download the attached dll, "ZigZag_VolumeDivisor.dll" and put it into the "Data Folder", which is in the "Sierra Chart Folder". This "ZigZag_VolumeDivisor" works on rounding the numbers that are shown above/below the ZigZag turning points, it does not change the volume numbers on the vertical scale when the Cumulative ZigZag Volume Study is used. It does not put a C or K or M, after the rounded numbers, but all one has to do is look at the input value one is using to know.

gdm1972, How does your "weis wave" differ from the zigzag?

It doesn't differ. It does what the WW does with the exception it's only got the options that I personally use

Hi George, I just found this thread. Thanks for sharing the Volume Divisor, which I have put in the data folder. I'm new to SC and not sure what to do next to get it to work - presumably there is another step to get it functioning with the zigzag volume. Any help gratefully received.:)

When you go to Chart Studies click on the "Add Custom Study" button and the "ZigZag_VolumeDivisor" should be there, then add it to your chart like any other study.
