Returning values of ZigZag indicator

[Zwarte ijsman]

In my current strategy, I want to use the values of the highs and lows of a ZigZag Indicator. Sadly enough, I can't figure out how to return/store these values.
I figured since the indicator already draws the lines, finding out the high and lows and storing this would be easy enough. Anyone happens to know the function I have to use for this.I already tried out with iCustom, but couldn't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

Did you search the forum before posting ? I has been discussed again and again...

The most curious thing of all is that ZigZag redraws new highs/lows, so at least for the most current price it is useless, only for support/resistance at preferably high TFs.

I guess we all have believed that ZigZag would make us millionaires in our beginnings.

Weird, I have been trying to search it. But couldnt find much. Do you maybe have some good forum posts for me. I want to program it my self, but need some guidance at the moment of finding other post about it.

I am fully aware of that. Been trading for a couple of years and programming a little on the side. Found the zigzag indicator interesting, so I want to play around a bit. Not expecting to become rich at all.

Hello ZigZag indicators store this value in buffers

for all the bars it sets it as EMPTY_VALUE and only those values of buffer which are not EMPTY_VALUE it will return the high / low values through buffer

Step 1 -  Use iCustom to load ZigZag Indicator

Step 2- Copy Buffer

Step 3 - Filter Buffer with EMPTY_VALUE to get high / lows

Step 4 - Store in variable array.

Step 5 - Use for loop to access these values.
