The indicator does not plot on the screen any other signal until I click on the compile
not to answer without looking at the code.
but i assume there is some calculations error inside the loop

The problem is : I don’t know why this indicator change when I compile it. I tried to create a flag showing when a new trend started. Once appears the flag, the indicator has to show the difference between the actual price and the price at flag moment. It would offer me how much the price is above or below the flag (the start of a new trend).
I did it in other format, but the indicator still wrong.
It will appreciate your help if you know how to correct this error

change
limit=Bars-counted_bars;
to:
limit=Bars-counted_bars-1;
Didn't change.... the problem still there.
UpShift and DownShift is showing = 0, all time... So... I'm not doing reference to the point where the trend started... I'm doing reference to the present bar.
How can I change my looping to find the exact point where my flag apppeared?
New modification to try to find the number of bars to the Flag... But I still with the same error- please help me!

try changing
int limit; int UpShift=0; int DownShift=0;
to:
int limit; static int UpShift=0; static int DownShift=0;
zzueg !! worked well.
Could you explain why?
To me, if I classify UpShift and DownShift to static int =0, it never would have a value different than zero.
Could you explain your logic?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi friends,
I’ve been trying to solve a problem in one of my indicator but I cannot solve it for while.
When I plot the indicator It shows past results correctly. The problem occurs in real time, since the indicator does not plot on the screen any other signal until I click on the compile (metatrader formula builder). When I click on the compile, it recalculates the past and shows some signals that would be showed…. So I can only see the past and not the present…. Any idea about what’s happening?
Thanks
