ZigZag Swing Lengths

How hard would it be to have the built-in ZigZag indicator plot
the swing lengths in text above and below the various
swing highs and swing lows? Where would I start?

if you can imagine it,
it can be programmed.

How difficult?
if you have to ask where to start,
it will probably take you 40+ hrs.
You have to learn A and B before you can start on C.

if you have a vague idea on where to start,
it will probably take you 20+ hrs.

if you know how to program,
it will probably take 8+ hrs, depending on the refinements you want.
(eg. if you want to added percentage rise/fall, ratios, S&R, projections, etc.)


I was involved in a similar project last year; we were counting wave lengths.
I do not have the code with me, so I cannot post it.

ps. on my second thought, even if I have the code, probably I should not post it because it is not my property.

I just thought it was a couple lines of subtraction and
a couple lines to show the text. Thanks TJ. I'm glad I asked
before I attempted.

You could take a look at Stratmans ZZ Code

There is indeed a lot to look at in here. Thanks SP.
