I would like to have the text for a zigzag (eg. the Delta in my case) to be colored acourding to if it is a pos or neg vale. What it does is to color is if it is an uptrend or downtrend.
Also changing the auto coloring to "based on +/-" does not change that.
Is that not supported, or am I doing something wrong. See pic.

The ZigZag only colors based on the Up/Down trend. There is not an option for coloring based on Positive/Negative values.

You can modify the study itself to get what you need. The code is in the file Studies7.cpp which is located in the ACS_Source folder under your main Sierra Chart installation. Refer to the information here:
