Yes, the MTF filter repaints until the MTF candle closes. That’s normal behavior for any MTF indicator. I think he might not be aware of that.

there is a problem somewhere
1) on what TF are you using it? It is optimized for 5 and 15M, on 1M I wan't able to have decent results.
2) I am using it "live", no tester. As explained tester is not suitable for all indicators.
3) As already mentioned earlier, the MTF part naturally recalculates as long as the higher tf candle does not close. It is normal.

So far, I haven't experienced any repainting, bro. 😲 I’ll post if I see it. Since this morning, it hasn't repainted. I've taken 3 entries in the same direction, and 2 have already closed in profit. I’ve set the MTF filter to 30 minutes. Working perfectly! Using with VZU strategy as a confluence for higher timeframe bias . Love how it aligns everything smoothly. 📈💸

I trade 5m on 30 HTF as well. Happy you find it useful! ;)

I think it's time to start a thread called "The Art of Using Indicators" 😂 Obviously, if the M30 is about to turn bearish, it will start signaling the entry 6 bars back on the 5-minute chart... and that's probably what they’re calling "repainting," I guess. 😅

Cagliostro,

What I’ve figured out about repainting indicators is that they start their main loop like this:
a) for (i = 0; i <= limit; i++)

Non-repainting indicators, on the other hand, start like this:
b) for (I = limit; I >= 0; I--)

If your main loop is still starting like (a) instead of (b), then it’s definitely going to repaint. Can you confirm?

I’m using just the filter line instead of the histogram for my trading decisions, and it’s working fine so far.

Yes, confirm that. It uses a reverse loop, processing bars from the newest to the oldest to ensure that only completed bars are used for indicator calculations, thereby preventing repainting.
