Hi: Can You Scan to find the Highest Point of a Zig Zag Scan?

    The scan engine only returns symbols that meet specified values, but not the values themselves (unless you use a rank by statement). Also, I don't see ZigZag as an option in the Technical Indicators drop down, so I don't think you can include it in a scan anyway.

    However, the ZigZag overlay uses the high and low, or the close, depending on chart type. So, if you are looking for symbols that have a max high above a certain price within a certain time frame (actually you would probably want a range), you could scan for that:

    and [high < max(21,high)] // price not currently at max level

    and [max(21, high) > 10]
    and [max(21, high) < 12]

    But that's probably not what you wanted.
