// Schiff Lines
// Modified from Andrews Pitchfork V3.3
// Use Peak() & Trough() to get peaks & troughs.
// This version deals with adjacent peaks and adjacent
// troughs, i.e. two peaks without an intervening trough or vice-versa.
// It goes backwards from the selected bar until it has a set of 
// peak,trough,peak or trough,peak,trough points to use for calulating
// the Schiff lines.  When 2 or more peaks or 2 or more troughs are adjacent
// it only uses the last one, i.e. the rightmost one, of the series.
//
// This plots the Schiff lines based on the last 3 identified peaks and troughs.
// Instead of a fixed look-back period it identifies the actual bars where the
// peaks AND troughs were revealed by the price action.  i.e. the price has to have
// moved off the high/low by the zigzag pct before the peak or trough will
// be used.
//
// Plots the trendlines as exponential curves that plot as
// straight lines on an semilog chart.
