Since I first saw it, I have always liked the idea of a step stochastic. But every single version I have seen had two very serious flaws:

minimum and maximum average true range are inherited from a previous bar

and thus it makes it depend on the number of bars used in calculations. The rest of the calculations depends on that "inherited" value, and, since with time the minimum and the maximum are just getting bigger (maximum) and smaller (minimum), the "step quality" of the step stochastic is simply lost when big enough number of bars pass. So the step stochastic becomes deformed and is not a "step" stochastic any more on newest bars.

This one solves those issues. The idea is simple — instead of inheriting previous state of ATR minimum and maximums, the minimum and maximum are cheсked in a "Window" number of past bars. That way it is not deformed and is reacting to latest data fairly good. Compared to the "old" ones you will notice that at the beginning they have the same values (since the "old" still did not "deform") but as time passes the differences grow bigger and bigger. That is the effect of not inheriting and in the end of not repainting.

So anyway, used the fixed step stochastic code to make a new non-repainting version. The results are different so posting it here to see if you still want to do the modifications you requested.

The simple version.
1. Start the indicator.
2. Draw a line.
3. Select a line in the indicator settings (lsg_red = no,lsg,red).

Reuse.
1. Open the indicator settings.
2. Click OK.

StepMA 3D.mq4 indicator, when atr_Rng is selected, the display effect on the chart is noticeably different from ! StepMA_3D_v3.01.mq4. Could you have a look at ! StepMA 3D.mq4 when you have time to see if it is correct?

Yeah, they are quite different, and the older version repaints tried making many EA's a long time ago not knowing about the repainting issue, could never figure out the trades taken were never the same as the indicator showed. First thought it was my EA coding which isn't that great but later found out the way the old version was done was the problem. The code that deforms the StepMa and causes the repainting is this

double ATRmax=0,ATRmin=100000;

So, no matter how you use the Atr or the high/low range it is affected by this, in fact even the moving average you choose as well.

So really don't know how to make the newer version the same without making it repaint. Main thing is being aware of the repainting, and if you are comfortable with that then maybe use it in your trading.

Your task is more difficult than my fantasy.
I forgot how to draw lines in the right window.
Finding the peaks is an endless topic, like divergence.
Then you will need buttons for each line to turn off the alerts.
Then there is a time limit (night) with a button.
Then you'll want the lines to move automatically.
