What is the purpose of the "Depth" setting for the ZigZag indicator? How does it change the behavior of the indicator? Thanks

Hello,

Depth is the minimal amount of bars where there will not be the second maximum (minimum).

I'm not sure that I understand that definition. Can you illustrate it? Thanks

That's what I've got from a MQL4 forum:

Depth is the minimal amount of bars where there will not be the second maximum (minimum) Deviation pips higher or lower than the previous one. I.e., ZigZag can always diverge, but it can converge (or completely draw together) more than at the Deviation value only after Depth bars.
