repainting indicators

New comment
 

please guys i need help figuring out how to know if an indicator repaints or not.

for starters i know that oracle indi repaints, but when i plugged it on my chart in mt5 and set timeframe to 1 minute, it didn't move but its head.

youtube videos suggested that i use strategy tester but it only allows EA testing not individual indiz

also i'm not a programmer so i can't tell which part of the code should i look for to identify the repainting feature.

help!!!

How do you expect us to help?

You yourself stated that you are not a programmer. Usually only a programmer can tell from the code if it repaints or not.

Normal users can only tell if it repaints by observation — by watching it over time to see if it changes anywhere except the current bar. Current bar changes are not considered repainting.

You can also test indicators in the Strategy Tester, not only EAs. Just choose which type you want to test.
