Moving averages are dynamic averages of the bars showing on a graph. This means they have to repaint as new data is added to the data stream. You will find that 95% or more of all indicators are dynamic in nature and thus do repaint, which makes it hard to create reliable trading methods. Do not pay too much attention to the history of the graph plot, but to the last 3 most current bars of the graph plot. Good luck!

<<<Thanks for the information. I appreciate your input. It's good advice.

Repainting is when indicator's values change in the past. On the current bar, it isn't repainting.
Most of indicators have their values fixed at the bar close. So to create a reliable trading method in this case, you just have to wait the current bar to close.

Question/Problem with EA in Codersguru Tutorial
I have started to learn some metatrader programming. I am trying to understand everything, so I have been playing around with various EAs, changing parameters and code and strategy testing. The EA in codersguru tutorial has EMA crosses written like this. (this is just part of the code)
shortEma = iMA(NULL,0,8,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
longEma = iMA(NULL,0,13,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
I wanted to see what would happen when I shift the MA_Shift to the left -1 or -2 so I edited the code like this.
shortEma = iMA(NULL,0,8,-1,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
longEma = iMA(NULL,0,13,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
The problem is when I strategy test with codersguru code I get both buy and sell orders which is correct and how it should be, but when I run the modified code with a -1 or -2 shift I only get one sell order a few modified orders and a takeprofit. Then the code ends and does not execute any more trades. I want to understand why this is? Anybody have any solutions? Is it a metatrader bug or is the code wrong?
Using a negative shift is the problem.
Simple MA on E/G
I want to test this sys on meta trader, but I don't know to code. If anyone want to code it please give a result here, it is an open sys, since it posted here.
EurGbp on H4, only 1 Moving Average period 78 on close price.
For each bar place an order of TP and SL 100 pips.
If the close price is higher than MA then sell, otherwise buy.
I tested with another approach that shows 63% orders can win.
Again share your result please
