[User Discussion] - Zig Zag Oscillator Output Not Matching Zig Zag Length

Hello, I am trying to replicate the ZZ study into the ZZ Oscillator. I feel I have followed all the instructions in the study description. There are 2 issues I am finding: 1. I cannot seem to get the bar length in the Oscillator to correspond to the length of the identical study shown on bar chart. The bar length in the oscillator all look the same despite the ZZ study on the bars showing vastly different length outputs. 2. In addition there seems to be a bar offset on the Oscillator. For example, when the ZZ study on the bar chart shows an up rotation, it shows the prior down rotation on the ZZ Ocilator. Attached are some screenshots which might help. Many thanks.

You are comparing two separate things. The values in the upper chart are the distance between the swing points, the swing length. The values in the lower chart, the oscillator, are the distance from the most recent swing point to the bar close. What do you actually want to see/compare?

Hello. Thanks for your response. What I would like is the swing points in the upper chart to be represented in the Oscillator below. Is that possible?

@sierrachart support can you please help me out with this issue? I have spent many months trying to make this work and also checked with other users who cannot figure out the issue.
