The zigzag uses a moving average for pivots to minimize repainting. If there are not enough bars to compute the moving average, then the prior version's logic failed. This uses the prior pivot if the last pivot is within the moving average.

#ZigZag Basis
#Since Priceh/Pricel are based upon a movingAverage to minimize repainting

input atrreversal = 2.0;

input atr_length  = 5;
def priceh = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, high, ma_length);
def pricel = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, low , ma_length);

def EIL = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh, "price l" = pricel, "percentage reversal" = .01, "absolute reversal" = .05, "atr length" = atr_length, "atr reversal" = atrreversal).lastL;
def EIH = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh, "price l" = pricel, "percentage reversal" = .01, "absolute reversal" = .05, "atr length" = atr_length, "atr reversal" = atrreversal).lastH;
def lastbar    = HighestAll(if !IsNaN(close) then BarNumber() else 0);
def signalhigh = if !IsNaN(EIH) then BarNumber() else signalhigh[1];
def signallow  = if !IsNaN(EIL) then BarNumber() else signallow[1];
def lasthigh   = if (lastbar - signalhigh) >= ma_length then signalhigh else 0;
def lastlow    = if (lastbar - signallow)  >= ma_length then signallow else 0;

def cond = Max(lasthigh, lastlow);
input header_label = yes;
AddLabel(header_label, "Anchored LRL @Last Pivot " + (if cond == signalhigh then "High" else "Low"), Color.WHITE);
input test = no;
AddLabel(test, lastbar + " " + signalhigh + " " + (signallow) + " " + cond);

#02.12.2019  10:49 Mobius: Just a note to the Anchored LRC. I usually change to 930 from 1800 about 11:00 EST.  I don't change to 1800 till 2000 if I still have the program up and running.  I could program it to do that automatically but am too lazy.
