Latest MT5 Update Made some Indis Behave Weirdly

New comment
 
Since the last MT5 update, an indicator of mine which prints lines on the chart started printing lines at wrong places, like glitched lines that do not make sense and are just there. Reloading/Refreshing the indicator by quickly changes timeframes back and forth "fixes" the issue, but if the indicator is left on the chart for a while, after some minutes the bugged lines will appear again.

Even my coder (which is a genius by the way) could not find out why and fix it, tried to refine the code to no avail, went through the MT5 changelog and could not fix it.

The only way to "fix" it was to make the indicator refresh at every candle close.

So what's up with that?

Actually that sounds like a coding issue....

My guess is a faulty lookback implementation. Without code, can't be actually told, but it sounds a bit like such a problem.

How it's a coding issue if the indicator always worked properly before the latest update?
