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.

For example:

GU is showing a breakout and the hour bar is showing a bullish break out.

But at US open news breaks unexpectedly. By the end of that bar GU is showing a Bearish break out.

You can't make an indicator not re-paint when the market does this all the time, it is a function of the market to fool you 90% of the time.

Conceptually, it's very simple - you recode them so that past values that display appear exactly as they would have, at that point in time.

It doesn't just repaint. It runs backwards. i.e. it's using future prices to give it's signals. It must be a joke.

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.

for this i do not have a solution yet :-(

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.

Now what TRO stole and renamed (when renaming "3 level zz semafor") is being stolen and renamed.
This world is becoming funnier and funnier each and every day

PS: zigzag can not be made non-repainting without leaving out the last leg (ie: lagging by one leg - which is the last thing you want to do if you are using zigzag)

11 years no solution? That's a tragedy.

Tendentially there is a very good reason why repainters are repainting.
If you don't like repainters you simply shouldn't use them.
There are many excellent non-repainting indicators.
