Messed up indicator bars

hi...

I have a question...does everyone who comes up with an indicator run a check over a few hours or so to make sure the indicator is doing what it should do...reason I ask is...

I changed an indicator..it was only a bar counting type indicator like the momentum indicator but I changed the calculation at the end..and that was it..no dramas...

BUT I started to notice that the bars on the indicator showing as a historgram were now and then messed up..the previous bars were fine and the bars following were fine...in my book meaning the calculation was working fine....except for the 1 -2 bars now and then that printed wrong....

when applied to a new chart the bars displayed right...when on the old chart I re-compiled, it looked right...again

But something was not right...and I still dont have a clue yet...

So my trust in what gets shown on an indicator is slowly reducing...

as I said..the indicator was just a basic bar counting one nothing flash.

Note:..the lack of any replies is a worry....I was thinking maybe it was something simple that I did not take into account.....but maybe its just that in the past nobody has actually checked the indicators are doing and printing the values they are suppose to...

Histograms have been mysteriously misbehaving in my indicators. Width of a histogram bar is narrow after compilation contrary to parameter setting and updating / recalculation messes up histogram bars in some of my indicators. I wait that the next mql4 version will be better??

Sometimes removing an indicator from a chart and reinstalling it helps. However, everything is not right.

TimoLensu......well is good to see someone else noticing a problem...well not really good but you know what I mean...


Yes and those histogram settings dont work to well also...but if you want to adjust the width of a histogram bar..use..

#property indicator_width1 3;

use capitals where needed of course...but I know this works.. the 3 is just any number between 1-5 I think for thickness....and width1..the 1 being the indicator number I guess...changing that I have not tried yet.


Yes so my trust in any indicator right now is non existant..unless the writer has checked for quite a number of bars that the indicator is printing right...using a manual check.
