long time reader, first time poster.

So i've been trying for some time to make the EATA indicator not to repaint, without success. I decided to ask about in the forum if some fellow coder can help identify what needs changing to oder to work. Im not sure i completely understand why the buffers get a different value each time the indicator is refreshed.

Running the EATA in the tester is intriguing, having a EA that enters a position based on EATA isnt *bad*, but as the lines are totaly different from where the EA entered a position, its hard to say.

Ill just post a quarter of the code here if maybe its indentifiable whats causing the repaint. If not, then theres the indicator in the attachment.

Code: Select all

int start() {
   
   int counted_bars = IndicatorCounted();

   if(counted_bars < 0){ 
      return(-1);
   }

   if(counted_bars > 0){
      counted_bars--;
   }
   
   int limit = MathMin(Bars - counted_bars, Bars - 1);
   
   for(int i = limit - 1 ; i >= 0; i--) {
   
      ttMaxBuffer[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
      ttMinBuffer[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
      CCIMapBuffer[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
      RSIMapBuffer[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
      arrowBuyBuffer[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;
      arrowSellBuffer[i] = EMPTY_VALUE;

      a = (iCCI(NULL, 0, CCI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i) - iRSI(NULL, 0, RSI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i));
      a1 = (iCCI(NULL, 0, CCI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i-1) - iRSI(NULL, 0, RSI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i+1));
      a2 = (iCCI(NULL, 0, CCI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i-2) - iRSI(NULL, 0, RSI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i+2));
      a3 = (iCCI(NULL, 0, CCI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i-3) - iRSI(NULL, 0, RSI_per, PRICE_TYPICAL, i+3));
