I have been a silent fan of Baluda's indicators for a while. I first used the CSSDiff, but now I am using the CurrencySlopeStrength (with showOnlySymbolOnChart == true) as my main indicator for my system.
I have searched the Forum to see if somebody else asked the questions that I want to ask, but could not find any - so if I repeat something that has been discussed before please forgive me and be patient.
My two questions are these:
1. It is said that if the parameter ignoreFuture = true there will be NO repainting. My experience is that even with this setting there is some heavy repainting of historical data on the graph done. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I misunderstanding the term "repainting"?
2. Every time I restart my computer or Empty4 the indicator does not show any values. I have to select the indicator and go to "Edit" then "OK" then "Close" before the values appear. I have to do this countless of time since i am monitoring 35 currency pairs. Is there a way to have the values reload by itself every time I restart?

I will be REALLY grateful if anyone can give me some feedback on these two issues.
Thank you.

"Repainting" is quite a controversial subject but I can say that any of these indi's with ignoreFuture set to true should not change any historical bars once the current bar has closed. I think some convincing evidence would need to be provided for this to be looked in to in detail (I haven't seen any change). Screenshots might be the best bet? Even then I can't guarantee it will be looked at as I am pretty clueless with code and no-one else has raised this issue.

This one I can be a bit more helpful on

My understanding is that this is an issue with Empty4 and there is nothing that can be done about it in terms of a direct "fix". However I think you will find that switching timeframe of the chart to another timeframe and then back again will refresh the indi. This is a pain in itself if you have lots of charts but I have added a script below that will allow you to change the timeframe for all charts in one go. Just put it in Experts\scripts folder and restart Empty4. The easiest way to use this imo is to save a couple of copies of the script (using metaeditor) changing the following line as required, saving as a timeframe name (e.g. Chg-TF-M5) and recompiling:

Code: Select all

extern int eintTF = PERIOD_D1;

Change to:

Code: Select all

extern int eintTF = PERIOD_M5;

I hope that at least alleviates some button clicking

I am so very grateful for your help with my problem. Thank you very much!

I am attaching three charts to show the repainting of the CurrencySlopeStrength indicator with the parameter ignoreFuture = true.

I did the charts with a simulator since it will take hours to do it in live mode.

It certainly seems like there is some difference. I can't help you with that I'm afraid as I the code is beyond me. Hopefully Paul or one of the other coding gurus here is able to comment.

Cheers,
Dave.

The charts must be read from the bottom one to the top - as the bars are completed over time.
As you can see on the first chart the lines are opening, while on the second chart (after 3 more bars) the lines have now moved together, and then on the third chart it shows a new crossing where before on the first chart the lines were opening.
Now that shows some substantial repainting going back 10 or more bars back don't you agree?
