Forcing indicator to "reload" at bar start

Is there anyway to tell an indicator to reload it's self at the start of a new bar? I'm working with an indicator that does some repainting, but it works better when MT4 is shutdown and reloaded, or the indicator is removed and re-added. Can this be done programatically?

Thanks,

Jason

how far back are you looking to repaint? most indicators that are coded up recalc values for the last completed bar, it's pretty trivial to make that the last 3,5 or 15 bars.

If you leave the indicator up for awhile it will draw one way, then when you reload it the last few bars smooth out the curve... I'm looking for that redraw effect that happens when the indicator reloads. The last 15 would be plenty.. It's the solar wind indicator that I'm looking at.

Hi Jason,

I think that in one your earlier posts you mentioned that you are using this indicator also to determine the exit levels. If the solar is under the RSI the trend is weakening and it's time to think about exiting the trade. That would be the case with USDJPY. The fibs are at 76.4. Is this correct?

Thank you for your help.
