Just to complet what has been said by @noSkill06s here is the loop

int    longRange  = 100;
double highzigzag = 0,
       lowzigzag = 0;

for(int i = 1;i<longRange;i++){

    highzigzag = 
iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,"ZigZag",InpDepth,InpDeviation,InpBackstep,1,i);
   if(highzigzag!=0) break;

}

for(int i = 1;i<longRange;i++){

lowzigzag = 
iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,"ZigZag",InpDepth,InpDeviation,InpBackstep,2,i);
if(lowzigzag!=0) break;

}


Comment("hight :"+highzigzag +"\nLow : "+lowzigzag );

the last placeholder at the function "iCustom(......,X)" is the number of the Bar u want to check in your code: double highzigzag = iCustom(NULL,0,"ZigZag",InpDepth,InpDeviation,InpBackstep,1,HERE); double lowzigzag = iCustom(NULL,0,"ZigZag",InpDepth,InpDeviation,InpBackstep,2,HERE);

u are checking with 0 = Current OpenBar

u need to change it to 1=First Finished Bar or 2=Second Finished Bar as example

double highzigzag = iCustom(NULL,0,"ZigZag",InpDepth,InpDeviation,InpBackstep,1,1);
  double lowzigzag = iCustom(NULL,0,"ZigZag",InpDepth,InpDeviation,InpBackstep,2,1);

in this example i'm checking the first finished bar but instead of typing the bar number u should use the function within a for-loop and replace the bar number through "i"

if it helps dont forget to like
