Question about 'total rates' and events.

New comment
 

Hello everyone, I apologize for my English as I am not a native speaker. Well, it's been about two days since I started to study MQL5 a little more deeply, I have some notion of programming, so I've managed to get by, I'm programming an indicator and I've already managed to do all the calculations I'd like, I even managed to draw the indicator chart, but I noticed that when the asset is modified with the indicator already open, sometimes there is a glitch that leaves the indicator random, I was able to come to the conclusion that the problem is due to the fact that I am using the value of rates_total for draw the indicator and that when I change the asset the first seconds that proceed, it progressively loads the value of the candles already drawn, I would like to know if there any event so that I can know if the rates_total has already been completely loaded and from that draw my chart.

Thanks in advance for your help, have a nice week!

If you had looked closely at my question you would have noticed that it boils down to "Is there any way or event to detect when rates_total is fully loaded?"

And if you thought the question was poorly formulated, all you had to do was answer objectively with "yes/no", unfortunately I didn't find a topic about "how to objectively answer a question" if I find this topic I'll send you!
 
You can print rates_total on every calculate, as well as you can make an if statement to define what should and should not happen if prev_calculated is equal to rates_total or not. Also have you seen the variable observation tool in the debugger?

Rates_total is the number of bars on the chart. It is always fully loaded.
