Heads up to all that there is a bug in the current builds of TOS that affects the initialization of exponential moving averages. Beginning with the December builds, TOS changed the way exponential moving averages were initialized. I will spare you the details of what I have found but it is a real PITA. The Vervoort Crossover and Heikin-Ashi Candlestick Oscillator studies are most affected since they use a triple exponential moving average. The leftmost part of any chart with these studies will be completely incorrect. As time progresses, the “Bad Data” is worked out and the indicators normalize. For the time being I recommend you do not use these studies. If you are compelled to then plot a much longer timeframe than you need to allow everything to settle out. Here is a picture of the Vervoort Crossover study and the wild swings early on in the chart. TOS is aware of the bug.
Exponential Average Bug
Hopefully they fix the ZigZag functions too.
I wasn’t aware of any bugs in the ZIgZag functions…changes to the way they operate, yes. What bugs have you seen?

sorry that’s what i meant … not a bug, but i was hoping they changed it back to how it used to operate.
I’ve said it all along: exponents are the devil’s spawn!
Right-thinking thinkScripters use simple moving averages, logarithms and standard deviation.
And I noticed a lot of bugs in their own indikators. Seriously thinking to change the broker and switch to a normal platform, because this is exceeded every measure. Turns out to deceive us TOS traders for real money. All this is in the same no more nor less than fraud! Many times the cost very much bugs me a lot of money and those who are fit for it and who is compensated for the damage? No one, on the other hand still have it charged too much!
Anyone notice the same issue on any SMAs, Kaufman Binary Wave, others? Hopefully, TOS will fix the issue or issues soon.
Does TOS have an idea of when this might be fixed?
