I am having a problem with the plotting of the zigzag volume bubbles. It seems to be overplotting the upgoing and downgoing wave volumes in certain instances, but not always. I o not understand why. I would appreciate any suggestions to the problem. Thanks. See enclosed screen capture of the issue.

See if this revised volume bubbles at reversals helps. It shows an optional debug_volume bubbles with the current bar volume and cumulative reversal volume. These should then correspond to the cumulative volume at the reversal point's bubbles.

Is there any way to compare the lengths and volume amouts of the last [n] waves with each other? The goal is to find the waves with similar lengths, but significantly different volume or vice versa, find the waves with similar volume, but vastly different lengths?

See if this helps. The code added at the bottom of the script is the capture of volume and bar counts at each of the last 5 zigzags. You can create more by using the same process. The labels show the capture matches the bubbles on the chart for bar counts and volume. You can then make comparisons/computations for your analysis.

@SleepyZ is there a way to only plot the current bull/stop or bear/stop bubbles with no historical bubbles? So using your picture as an example, it would just show the bull/stop bubbles but not the previous bear/stop bubbles. Thank you!!!

Yes, this should only show the last set of bubbles and stop line. It is based upon the code 'lastbubble' and is used in the bubble and line codes to find the higher barnumber between the bullish2 and bearish2 codes.

Is it possible to scan for the chart bubbles when the zig zag flips direction?
 
two questions:

What is the pattern that causes the candles to stay painted? For the Blue candle is it a high, a low, another high, another low, and that is when it stays? Vice versa for the Pink candle?

Is there a way trades can be automated so once the aforementioned patterns are seen on the chart, an order is placed 1 tick above the high of the Blue candle with a stop 2 ticks below its low with a specific target, and the same goes for the Pink candle, but with an order placed 1 tick below its low and a stop 2 ticks above the high with the same specific target?
 
@SleepyZ
ZigZag Label: I notice that the ATRrev and RevAmt are always the same number...is it possible to eliminate one of them to make the label take up less room??

please post the code of the study, or a link on this site. that way others aren't guesing which version you are talking about.

yes, a label can be changed to display something different. look for addlabel( ).

What I do is, I copy the original code line, then I put a # in front of the original line, to comment it out. that way I have it as a reference. Then I alter the copied code line.
 
Here is the code I'm using:

Thanks, I have a question. what does confirmed zigzag means, does it mean reversal point confirmed?

The 2 reversal amounts will not always be the same. The following will eliminate the ATR Reversal if it is equal to the Reversal amount.

Relplace this code area in the script with this:

Ruby: 
# Zigzag Status Label

AddLabel(BarNumber() != 1, (if isConf then "Confirmed " else "Unconfirmed ") + "ZigZag: " + chg + (if Round(reference ATR(ATRlength) * ATRreversal, 2) == Round(ReversalAmount, 2) then "" else " ATRrev " + Round(reference ATR(ATRlength) * ATRreversal, 2)) + " RevAmt " + Round(ReversalAmount, 2), if !isConf then Color.Dark_Orange else if isUp then Color.Green else Color.Red);

Thanks, I have a question. what does confirmed zigzag means, does it mean reversal point confirmed?

It means the reversal point is confirmed, but since this is a repainting indicator, then if price moves thereafter in the opposite direction, the reversal point can disappear from your chart.
 
Could someone add HL,LH,LL, HH Plots Scan, and Labels to ZigZagPerCent alternative version? Got starter code elsewhere for HH,LL,HL,LH. Can't figure out how to scan for LH,HL in past 1 bar and using zigzag percent of 3, 5, or 7? I'm totally clueless not a coder really.

I tried to add the zigzag high low states to the chart on the mobile, but it did not show xigzag states on the chart
can zigzag high low sate be added to the chart on mobile?

There are inputs for count to limit how many zigzags to plot, and show your candle coloring scheme.

Dear @SleepyZ thanks for this fabulous study, I am trying to scan but there is an error: "com.devexperts.tos.thinkscript.runtime.TooComplexException: The complexity of the expression suggests that it may not be reliable with real-time data" . Please help us with a script to find the arrows
Thanks...
