Post From: spreadsheet reveals the trouble with ZigZag

let's be clear, the issue is with ZigZag and no improvements have been made. these are the issues you are referring to, fixed in v1234 :

>>Low-level improvements to the Study/Price Overlay study to better work with studies that are displaced and studies that recalculate at bars earlier than the last bar in the source chart, like the Zig Zag study.

>>The Study/Price Overlay study and the Spreadsheet studies now properly output data from the study like the Zig Zag study that change at bars earlier than the last bar in the chart.

you can see on the attached spreadsheet that ZigZag itself is what needs fixing. Line Length should have an actual value at all times, not zero (unless there is in fact no price movement since the start of the swing). why Line Length is zero at all of these points is beyond me. please explain how it is correct to say that the length of the swing is zero when in fact price has moved from the start of the swing.

and ditto for Number of Bars. where you see zeroes on the spreadsheet, this is incorrect because the number of bars from the beginning of the swing is not being reported.

again, i am asking to please fix these issues or explain why not. thank you.
