[Metastockusers] Help Appreciated With Peak (& Trough) Indicators

Hello,

I've been gazing at this for so long that I'm not seeing it anymore.

I am creating a divergence exploration. In order to ensure that my signals 
will work as intended, I plot the indicator(s) on a chart and run a system 
test which contains the syntax that I will later use in my exploration. 
Usually, entry signals are generated where my chosen indicator values 
converge which is what I would expect.

I wish to use the Peak function which, as the manual states, uses the 
Zigzag function.

So, I have plotted the Zigzag indicator on my chart with the following 
properties: Price field: High; Reversal amount: 5; Method: percent.

In the System Tester, I say enter short when Peak(1,H,5) > Peak(2,H,5). I 
am using no other parameters and I have set an exit that takes me out a few 
bars later.

When I run the System Test, the entry symbols appear seemingly at random, 
certainly nowhere near the Zigzag tops which is what I would have expected.

Am I missing something here?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Kevin
