Alexey Viktorov:
Where is it written that there can't be a history sub-loading along with the new bar?

Where is it written that the history should be tracked?
While it is being loaded, the indicator calculations can be disregarded - because there is no complete history (bars can appear anywhere).
Hence, the conclusion - only after all of the bars have been built can there be a new bar.
Otherwise all the bars are "old".

 
m-r LSV:

Didn't help :(

show the code.

 
Taras Slobodyanik:

you need to see what you've built.

Taras!!! The man is asking about MQL5!!! And MT5 is indexed from left to right... It turns out that you should not count 1 bar, but rates_total-2

 
Taras Slobodyanik:

Where is it written that you have to monitor the history loading?
While it is being loaded, the indicator calculations can be disregarded - because there is no complete history.

Please advise how to do it with history.
The thing is, it is planned, to check something on the history of course.
I have some observations and would like to use buffers for arrows.

But that will come later.

No, no, prev_calculated and rates_total do not depend on it.

 
Taras Slobodyanik:

no-no, prev_calculated and rates_total do not depend on this

What is the relationship of prev_calculated and rates_total to the fact that you propose to read the opening and closing of the first bar on the left?

i am not suggesting to read the closing bar on the left, this is not my code)

mine only

if(rates_total - prev_calculated == 1)

Yes, you either need to change the direction of the arrays or take the rates_total-2 index instead of 1

{
   
   ArraySetAsSeries(open,true);
   ArraySetAsSeries(high,true);
   ArraySetAsSeries(low,true);
   ArraySetAsSeries(close,true);
   ArraySetAsSeries(time,true);
   
   if(rates_total - prev_calculated > 1)
      {
      Print("Загрузка истории");
      return(rates_total);
      }
   
   if(rates_total - prev_calculated == 1)
      {
      //Print("Новый бар");
      if(open[1] > close[1])
           {
           Print("Dn");
           }
      else if(open[1] < close[1])
           {
           Print("Up");
           }
      }

return(rates_total);
}

It's just mine.

It's unseemly to lie so blatantly. You delete your post and blame your illiteracy on someone else. Liar.
