I set ContinuousAction -> False due to the delay cause by NMaximize: Manipulate[Column[{ Plot[f[x, \[CapitalDelta]], {x, -1.22, 1.22}, PlotRange -> {{-0.5, 0.5}, {0, 1.5}}, Epilog -> {Red, Point[{x /. #[[2]], peak = #[[1]]}] & @ NMaximize[f[x, \[CapitalDelta]], x]}] , "Peak=" <> ToString[peak]}] , {\[CapitalDelta], 0.125, 0.5}, ContinuousAction -> False] Daniel
