DislikedDon't use the 4TF HAS indicator since I just found out it repaints. Just stick with the HAS indicator on top only. You can still look at multiple TF's with that sole indicator.Ignored
DislikedHi Steinitz....I used the indicator it saves a pic 640x480 at the close of every bar (depending on which TF you have the currency on I used 5 min..) I did this for hrs.. and did not see any repainting for HAS...It saves the files to...C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4 Alpari\experts\files\ScreenShot....You may want to use it for other reasons. keep up the good work!!!!...JohnnyOhOh...ps just install it like any other indicatorIgnored
DislikedOn the 5min TF, The bottom row of the MTF (5min) should be exactly as you see the the HAS candles on the 5 minTF, and it is!!!
(click\move to the 15minTF) The bottom row (15min) on the MTF of the 15minTF is exactly the same as the HAS candles you see on the 15 minTF.
That bottom row (15min) of the MTF on the 15minTF needs to look just like that on the MTF 5minTF for this MTF to work like it should, and so on for higher TF's.Ignored
DislikedI dont see the indicator repainting Steinitz. It just works the same like any other MTF indicator and has the same issues.
E.g. the higher timeframes will change to the closed value of the higher timeframe when you refresh/switch timeframes.
I woul love to see somebody would modify this indicator to show only the last closed values for the higher timeframes though.
What I mean is NOT to show the current developing candle values but the last closed values for the higher TFs. Dont know if it can be just shifted a candle to the left?Ignored
DislikedHere is a pic of my chart with this going on. The indicator is not important, rather the process. For the record, the M30 line will only be drawn after the close of the M30 bar. Appropriate decisions can then be made.
I haven't spent enough time to fully understand your system, only sharing how I've solved this MTF problem.

DislikedHi Steinitz
I thought you aleady understood this change of colours in higher TF's on MFT ind's, as when I highlighted the nature of MTF ind's back at post #432 (HA Smoothed thread) you replied:
Let me just answer your question this way.
The last color bar while forming will alwats be in a unstable condition with likely color changes until that bar closes. Once closed it will remain that color regardless of any future action.
No repainting with this indicator. If did I wouldn't use as I feel there next to useless information to trade with.

Hi,
System looks great
Just a quick questin.
With the 4 TF HAS bar ind on a 1 min chart and lets say the 5min squares are red.
Then in the last few secnds of a 5min period the price moves and causes a blues bar on the HAS on a 5 min chart.
Finally, the question, back to 4 TF HAS Bar ind on the 1min chart what will happen to the 5 min squares:
1. Will the indicator repaint all the 5min squares blue for that 5min period.
2. Only show a blue square for the last square in the 5min period.
3. A Combo and the one I suspect; Option 2 until the chart is re-opened or the indicator reset and then Option 1.
I ask this as I have not yet observed the indicator with a live feed and I was once caught out doing backtesting using a MFT Ind, 60min on a 5min chart.
Help appreciated
