Hi,

I have a problem with the ZigZag study.
Calculation mode is 3 and reversal amount is 3 ticks. I understand that once price reverses more than 3 ticks, a ZigZag is plotted. Therefore min. swing size should be 4, yet there are some 3 tick swings displayed. It is rare though, most 3 tick swings are ignored but it still happens from time to time.
Did I miss something when setting up the study or is this just a bug? If it’s the latter, please fix it.

Regards

Already figured it out. It was a floating point error.
