Perhaps I'm being a complete dummy. But, I'm having a problem with the ZigZagUTC indicator. I was hoping someone could help.

Print("Bar num of last high: " + ZigZagUTC(3,2,true,Color.Green).lasthibar);

Should give me the bar number of the last high? It continually gives me a result of 0. I'm using version 7 of NT. Is anyone else having this issue?

Turns out. It is reporting 0 when running a backtest. But when running real time, it reports properly.

Would anyone know how to get this to report properly in a backtest? I'm stumped.

I emailed the author of the indicator and he was nice enough to straighten me out. It was a botched syntax job on my part.

Sorry to bother you guys.
