//Issued 2008.06.16
/*
This indicator also needs the ZUP indicator on the chart set up to show Gartley patterns for it to work.
The main purposes for, and features of, the WRR_ZUP_INFO indicator are as follows. It will display a text
block saying what type of pattern ZUP has made (Gartley, Butterfly, Bat or Crab), if the pattern has "failed,"
if there is no pattern, what timeframe or period the chart is on and the chart instrument or pair. The text
block also indicates the risk for the trade and the range in which the pattern is valid or somewhat valid.
The text block can be moved anywhere on any window including indicator sub-windows.
It will alert when there is a pattern change. It will draw a 100% fib expansion on Gartleys to show if there
is an AB=CD confirmation. It will allow one to change the background property and colours of the D Point
Rectangle drawn by ZUP. It will also allow one to automatically and instantly make a screen shot every time
a new pattern forms, fails or there is no pattern, then save it to a file.
**** VERY IMPORTANT **** TO GET the WRR_ZUP_INFO INDICATOR TO WORK AND TO GET ZUP TO WORK, one must check
the box "Allow DLL imports" in the Common Tab of the indicators' properties ON BOTH INDICATORS. If
"Allow DLL imports" is not selected in ZUP, nothing will show up. If "Allow DLL imports" is not checked
in WRR_ZUP_INFO, an error message alert will show up and it will not run.
**** VERY IMPORTANT **** Always install ZUP first then WRR_ZUP_INFO after ZUP. This is because
WRR_ZUP_INFO needs to read the most current data from ZUP. If one installs WRR_ZUP_INFO first, then its
performance will be delayed.
