Post From: Problem With Text Offsets In Zig Zag

Would it be possible to change the way that text offsets are handled in the Zig Zag study?

Right now they are based on a percentage offset. As a result, depending on the size of the bar, the text is offset at variable distance. In other words, the text does not maintain a consistent offset to the price bars.

I like to separate out the tick increment and volume for each rotation into separate Zig Zag studies. What ends up happening however is the values sometimes overlap.

Not sure why this is happening but it makes more sense to have any offset be consistent.

Here is an example:

This is a 1 minute chart with two Zig Zag studies. One showing size of the rotation and another displaying the volume.

The first (green) is offset 10% and the second (yellow) is offset 50%

Notice how they don't maintain their distance and sometimes overlap, sometimes move further apart:

Here are the settings for both studies:

Is there some way this can be fixed? Maybe use a fixed pixel offset from the high/low instead of a percentage?
