I would like to get the zig-zag indicator built into Ninja7 to show the data (price) labels at the turns. There is a property for showing the label - which I have changed from false to true.

Each day I record the turn points for the ES regular trading session - both price and time and enter them into a spreadsheet.

The setting on the attached graphs is what I use (all moves equal to or greater than 6pts and I use the high and low -not the close).

Currently, I use the data box window, place it over the turn point and manually record the info. (e.g H1266.25 at 11:56).

If the indicator can be easily be adjusted to out the turn point info (price and time) to a datafile that would be great .

you could extract the desired data by inserting a Print statement within your indicator where you want your data to come from, then:
  • open the Output Window under Tools->Output Window
  • reload your indicator
  • Select all the text displayed in the Output Window (Ctrl+A)
  • Copy selected data to clipboard (Ctrl+C)
  • Open MS Excel an paste the data (Ctrl+V)
  • in MS Excel under Tools select Text-to-Columns function and with Delimited option split data into columns where Delimter is Other, =


 
Code 
            if (
                Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday
                )
            {            
                Print    
                    (
                    "=ChartType=" + Bars.Period.Id + "." + Bars.Period.Value
                    + "=Instrument=" + Instrument.FullName
                    + "=Date=" + ToDay(Time[0]).ToString("0000/00/00")
                    + "=Time=" + ToTime(Time[0]).ToString("00:00:00")
                    /* BAR stats */
                    + "=Open=" + (Open[0]).ToString("0.0000")
                    + "=High=" + (High[0]).ToString("0.0000")
                    + "=Low=" + (Low[0]).ToString("0.0000")
                    + "=Close=" + (Close[0]).ToString("0.0000") 
                    + "=VOL=" + VOL()[0].ToString()
                    + "=Range=" + (High[0]-Low[0]).ToString("0.0000")

Answer
This post has been selected as an answer to the original posters question Answer

I didn't take a look at Zondor's modifications, here, but the original ZigZag_Sam_03 was able to write directly in a .csv file (search for csv in the file), so maybe it can help.
