Since discovering Azimuth and this user's other indicators, they've become an indispensable part of my trading. Identifying structures and trends has become ridiculously easy. It greatly simplifies trading if you know how to use it correctly. Eternally grateful, Sensei.

This is a very interesting indicator, but when I apply it to a chart, the candlesticks stop drawing. I tried using it on two different computers of varying performance (one average, the other powerful). I also tried running it on a VPS server, and the result is always the same: the candlesticks stop drawing. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I would like to add more details. So, without the indicator on the chart, the candles are drawn according to the price level (every tick), but when I place it on the chart, the candle stops updating according to the price (imagine that the candle updates only one tick within about 10 seconds).
I tried different settings and reducing the number of candles used for calculations, but the calculations become incorrect.
I also noticed that when combined with other indicators, it freezes in the same way (this I fully accept, as the developer created the indicator without taking into account thousands of indicators used by other developers).

However, I tried placing the indicator on a completely clean terminal and noticed that if the trade history display is enabled on the chart, the candles stop updating. As soon as I disable the trade history display, everything works perfectly.

The indicator itself is excellent, and I hope my comments will help make it even better.

Thank you for reporting but it's not indicator related. It's a known issue related to broker data, specific for volatile instruments like crypto and indices. As you can see in the image below, on the left M1 BTC chart with Azimuth and on the right a fresh new chart with no indicators. Candles do not reach current price. This was IC Markets, but several brokers show similar issues. 


On the same broker, same timeframe and same hour of the day, EURUSD shows no issue at all.


Cheers.

Yes it's a known issue. It also happened in my Xauusd chart. Somehow, the candle is out of sync with time.

Hello. Thanks for making it available for FREE. I use azimuth and Oracle together. 
One question reg. Azimuth, in explanation slides you mention signals. I there buy/sell signals on charts?
I activated pop up alerts. if any tips around signals i would appreciate.

Hello - the information is clearly stated in the description of the indicator and in the screenshots. If you check the image you can easily identify the ABC setup signals. Be careful not to consider them as trade entry signals, as the MTF zigzag structure changes with price action.

Signal Disappeared? 
Thank you for the question and interest in Azimuth. It's clearly stated in the product description but probably this deserves an additional explanation. Please read the post below.

 Understanding ZigZag-Based Signals (ABC Patterns)


  A few users have asked why ABC pattern labels sometimes move or disappear. This is expected behavior — here's why.

  ZigZag is a mathematical structure detector, not a prediction tool. It identifies swing highs and lows as they form,
  and by definition it must update when price action changes the structure. If price makes a new high beyond a detected
  swing, that swing is no longer valid — so ZigZag correctly removes it and recalculates. This is not a bug. Any
  ZigZag-based indicator that does NOT do this is lying to you about market structure.

  This is exactly why Azimuth does not rely on ABC patterns alone.

  The colored candles use a dual-EMA filter combined with AVWAP to confirm trend direction before coloring a setup as
  bullish or bearish. A green candle means the trend structure supports the signal — not just that an ABC pattern
  appeared.

  For actual trade confirmation, we recommend adding at least one independent filter from a different category:

  - Momentum (RSI, Stochastic, MACD)
  - Volatility (ATR, Bollinger Bands)
  - Volume (OBV, MFI, Volume Profile)

  This is standard practice: structure (ZigZag) tells you where, trend (EMA/AVWAP) tells you which direction, and a
  momentum or volume filter tells you when.

  For those looking for a ready-made solution, we built The Oracle specifically for this — it provides multi-timeframe
  bias filtering with momentum and volume confirmation that pairs naturally with Azimuth's structure analysis.

  Thank you.

so if we take a trade and the signal disappear, we need to exit that trade immediately, right?

Hello Prit, thank you for the question.

No, a disappearing signal does not mean you must exit immediately. Here's the logic behind it:

Azimuth uses a live ZigZag — by definition, the most recent swing points recalculate as price develops. An ABC signal can disappear or shift for a few reasons:

  1. Price is still forming the setup — the ZigZag is repainting because the structure hasn't confirmed yet. The signal may reappear once the bar closes.
  2. The structure consolidated closer to the swing — the ABC geometry recalculated to a tighter, more valid formation. This is actually normal and doesn't invalidate your trade thesis.
  3. The structure was genuinely invalidated — price moved in a way that broke the ABC geometry entirely.

The key is your stop loss placement, not the signal label on screen:

  • If you placed your SL below the structural swing (L3/H3), that swing is your real invalidation level — not the disappearance of the label.
  • If the signal disappears but price hasn't hit your SL and hasn't broken the structure, your trade is still valid.
  • If you're in an Early signal (not yet confirmed), you should be more cautious — disappearance there carries more weight.
  • Once a Main/Confirmed signal has triggered your entry, the signal label has done its job. Its disappearance afterwards doesn't change what already happened — you entered on a valid confirmed structure. From that point forward, only price action matters: is your SL still intact? Is the structural swing still holding?

Rule of thumb: manage by price structure, not by indicator labels. The signal got you in — the market structure keeps you in or takes you out.

Best Regards.

Can somebody give recommendation, what trick do you use to make this indicator sync with candles? I try to disable everything, still no luck. Trying with XAU.

Hello - can you explain in detail what issue are you facing? Candles are automatically synced.

Same issue like before, out of sync candles with prices. I asked you in PM 1 month ago. I try to minimize completely mt5 data, only one graphic, 2 indicators, as minimum refreshing data as possible.

Exness is better, but sometimes can't use, IC markets is delayed much more. 

Candles are out of sync with price. I don't know, maybe somebody knows the trick.

Laptop is very powerful and new, it's not related to network too (ping is 30ms). Sometimes switching servers help, but I don't know... maybe you can suggest broker where no delays

 Hi Oleg,

 What you're seeing is a known visual limitation of MT5's DRAW_COLOR_CANDLES — it affects any indicator that draws
 custom candles, not just Azimuth.

 The native bid/ask price line updates instantly (rendered by the MT5 terminal itself), while custom candle bodies
 update at ~30fps through ChartRedraw. On high-tick brokers like IC Markets (50-100 ticks/second), this creates a small
 visual gap where the price line moves ahead of the candle body by a few milliseconds.

 Why Exness feels better: lower tick rate = less visible gap between price line and candle body.

 What you can try:
 - Reduce visible chart bars (less rendering work per frame)
 - Close unused chart tabs
 - Disable features you don't need (HTF Structure, Dashboard) to reduce OnCalculate time

 This is purely cosmetic — the candle data is correct and synced, only the visual refresh has a small inherent delay.
 Every MT5 indicator using custom candles has this same behavior.

The Pro version includes additional rendering optimizations, but if you are facing issue with the free version the core behavior is not guaranteed to be different
.

Thank you. I understand that it is cosmetic. But when volatility comes I have to look price in the box of azimuth - it has the only one true value, even not in the metatrader one click trading. Very strange behavior.

It's not strange — it's how MT5 works.

The price in Azimuth's dashboard reads directly from SymbolInfoDouble(SYMBOL_BID) — the same raw feed MT5 uses. That's
why it's always correct.

The candle body updates at ~30fps through ChartRedraw, while the bid line is native MT5 rendering (instant). During
fast moves, the candle visually lags by 1-3 frames. This is identical for every indicator that draws custom candles in
MT5 — try any other DRAW_COLOR_CANDLES indicator and you'll see the same behavior.

Bottom line: the data is correct, the rendering can have a small inherent delay. Nothing to fix — it's a MetaTrader
platform limitation.
