Ok. I understand about the zig function.
I am asking specifically about the peak function.
What you described below should affect only peak(C,10,1), that is
the most recent peak. The last argument refers to the peak number
relative to the current bar. The peak prior to the most recent peak
has already been established by the time the most recent peak,
(C,10,1), is being established.
Is this wrong? If Not can someone give un example?
Thanks.
