[Xiaolei Liu]

Hi ,friend , i have a indicator , but it is repaint ,how to not repaint ?

Following is the source code:

 #property  copyright "whoever"

#property  link      "whatever"



#property  indicator_separate_window

#property  indicator_buffers 5

#property  indicator_color1  LimeGreen

#property  indicator_color2  Red

#property  indicator_color3  Gold

#property  indicator_color4  LimeGreen

#property  indicator_color5  Red

#property  indicator_width3  2

#property  indicator_width4  2

#property  indicator_width5  2

Xiaolei Liu: but it is repaint ,how to not repaint ?

  for(int i=0; i<limit; i++)

Change the two loops to count down.

   for(i=limit; i>=0; i--)

Change the two loops to count down.

very thanks ,i will try it.

Change the two loops to count down.

I modified it like this, but the chart can't display normally. I found that there are two places in the original code that are also count down.

[Xiaolei Liu]

Can anyone solve this problem ？
