many time your Sema indi loses the dots on chart and don't update the situation on colours on dashboard.
see my red arrows on charts M15 and H1

I think is it a problem of recalculation after X seconds

Please can you solve my issue?
thanks a lot
**Subject / Title:** Update: XU SEMAPHORE-X (v2.14) – Fixed Disappearing Dots & MTF Dashboard Refresh Issue

Here is an update addressing the reported issue regarding missing dots on the chart and delayed/frozen MTF dashboard colors.

### 🛠️ What was fixed & improved in v2.14:

1. **Fixed Disappearing Dots / ZigZag State Sync:**
- Rebuilt the ZigZag calculation engine with a clean two-pass algorithm (Pass 1 for extremes + Pass 2 for alternating high/low cleanup).
- Removed unstable cached state variables that previously caused historical dots and arrows to disappear or get erased on bar shifts.

2. **Real-Time Intra-Candle Updates:**
- Removed the early exit on same-bar ticks. New highs and lows forming in real-time now immediately update the semaphore glyphs and current timeframe bias without waiting for the candle to close.

3. **Smooth MTF Dashboard Refresh via Timer:**
- Fixed the MTF update logic in `OnTimer()`. Multi-timeframe biases (M15, H1, H4) now recalculate smoothly every second. The dashboard colors will no longer freeze or wait for higher timeframe candles to complete.

4. **Multi-Timeframe ZigZag Accuracy:**
- Added full two-pass cleanup to `GetMTFBias()` so higher timeframe direction is consistently accurate and aligned with chart visuals.

5. **100% Native MQL5:**
- Clean native MT5 code, fully compatible with 64-bit MT5 builds (compiles with 0 errors / 0 warnings).
