Hey Pthegreat,  I was wanting to know if you would like to look at a new system and give me your feedback on it.  the demo is located at www.sittsoftware.com  .  please take a look at it and let me know if that would be something intresting to you.  I hear that they are doing a complete redo of the site and it sould be up and running the new site release in a couple of weeks.  I can't wait.  This looks very promising in the way that they have done it and the way that it works.  If you could please email me at kcaughron31@ comcasst.net

Bruce what code line do I need to add to have the price at the end of the line like the pivot point chart?
Could I just add the line that plots out the 0.00?

Bruce I think I see what might be wrong:

 Sub New
        AutoLoop = False
        '# ZZP = chart.ZigZagPercent
        '# SupAgo = UserInput.Integer = 1
    End Sub
    Public Overrides Function Plot() As System.Single
        If ZZP.Line.Count >= 3 Then

I think that the code shoule look like this at the start

 Sub New
        AutoLoop = False
 End Sub
'# ZZP = chart.ZigZagPercent
        '# SupAgo = UserInput.Integer = 1
 Public Overrides Function Plot() As System.Single
        If ZZP.Line.Count >= 3 Then
(then the rest of the code)

Does this look right to you?

Bruce I get these errors when adding the code:
ZZP not declaired. Lines 14, 15,18, 24, 25

Here is the code copied after I pasted what you gave me.

6.  '# ZZP = chart.ZigZagPercent

8. End Sub
9. Public Overrides Function Plot() As System.Single
10.  If ZZP.Line.Count >= 3 Then
11.   Dim Count As Integer = 0
12.   Dim Support As Single = Single.NaN
13.   Dim i As Integer
14.   For i = ZZP.Line.Count - 2 To 1 Step -1
15.    If ZZP.Line.Value(i) < ZZP.Line.Value(i - 1) Then
16.     Count += 1
17.     If Count = SupAgo Then
18.      Support = ZZP.Line.Value(i)
19.      Exit For

22.   Next
23.   If Not Single.IsNaN(Support) Then
24.    AddToOutput(ZZP.Line.DateValue(i), Support)

26.   End If
27.  End If
28. End Function
29.End Class

Any idea what I did wrong?

Well could someone tell me if we could use ZZTop, ZZTop(1), and ZZTop(2) and the same for the bottom and then just plot out the horizontal line with the price on that line?  Would SF RC be able to understand the defining points that we would want in this or is that something that Kuff would have to look at to see if it is even possible in the API.  Also is there a downloadable copy of the RC API somewhere so as to be able to print out the api into a booklet for referance?

Bruce is there a way to have the plots do something like the last pivot point chart codes that we went over last week to where like the last 3 highs and last 3 lows would just plot a horizontal line with the price at the end of the chart?  If there is a way to use the ZZtop and bottom conditions for pointers to start from and use the last three of each and plot horizontaly with price at the end this would be about the best that I could hope for.

Bruce I was looking at the ZZ top condition code and came up with this one.  Check this and see if I've come close to getting it right or if it might work.

Static Support As Single

    Support = Single.NaN
End If
 If Price.low < Price.low(1) AndAlso _
 Price.low < price.low(-1) Then
 Support = Price.low
End If
Plot = Support

Thanks

Bruce the way that this plots out is there some way that it could be linked to use the Zig Zag tops andd bottoms and do the same.  I don't mean the ZZ pivot point chart but to use the ZZ tops and bottoms and have like the last 3 tops and last 3 bottoms to show up.  Wouldn't this look a whole lot like the links picture?

Just wondering when I got it ploted out and then looked a little closer to the links pic and that just sortof hit me as that might work.  I don't know anything on how the ZZ indicator is calculated or how to figure out the tops and bottoms, could you help please

Bruce, Can you convert this code to where it will work in SF?  Here is a screen shot link and the Metatrader code below:
