I do not work with the wizzard. I found a way using dataseries but the values are not consistant.
Any help is welcome.

I re-wrote the indicator once for a client for this purpose. It will require pretty much a re-write, because the DataSeries output has to be corrected or synchronized with how far back in time (bars back) it "creates" the signal. It does not create in real time, as I am sure you know.

Basically you'll need to create a signal dataseries to pass the info to your strategy.

Hi Mike,
I am using your indicator (ZigZagUTC_TL_BarCount_Fibs) and want the values of the direction, high, low of the previous swing in my strategy.
Can you help me?

@NinjaStrategies

I don't know if you've looked at it, but you may want to look into the PriceActionSwing Indicator. I've recently used this indie to reference some swing highs/lows for an indie I created. It's pretty good at storing the values you want, and it's really user friendly with regards to getting at the info you need on various swings.

Just an option of course.

Can you help me with one example for getting the value of SwingTrend from PriceActionSwing indie?
I would be very thankfull.

How would that look? Do you just want to get the swing high at a specific bar number and that level it is at?

Or do you just need to know IF a HH/HL or LL/LH has formed?

Just not sure exactly what you meant by your explanation?
