hi,
i have read this article http://www.mqlsoft.com/articles/indicators
repainting indicators,aren't recommended for Expert Advisors. Also Optimization won't be possible. it is changing it's values with every new candle... However, they can be successfully used in a manual trading with the right use.
anyone have solutions,
how to fix repainting indicators into non-repainting?
You can't avoid repaint when the current bar can repaint itself.

not true!
read the article again
if you use Moving Average on OPEN_PRICE
it will not repaint, cause open price of current bar stay the same
but i have a divergence indicator
that based on highs and lows
this indicator is repainting itself cause market always have new highs and lows
even in the same bar.
You can either plot the provisional value for the current bar, understanding that it can change or you just don't show anything until the bar completes.
I think it's usually better to plot something for the current bar. For lines/histograms, I usually use a different colour for the current bar to distinguish it from the past bars.

Well there's work arounds for anything but when you're talking signals based off a description of the current bar those signals repaint because a bar can repaint itself many times.
It's true the open price doesn't change, but I think you'll find that by fitting it with this principal your outcome would be no better if you just flipped a coin... heads you buy and tails you sell.
So in that instance what do you need an indicator for? Think about it and you'll see what I mean.
