Iinwmarrows... stop it from repainting?

Quoting hollandpippin

Disliked

my question about this indicator is the following:
sometimes this indicator repaints but ofcourse i would like it not to repaint
so i wonder if there are some programmers in FF who would like to check the code and see if it is possible or not

thank you very much

  fasterMAnow=iMA(NULL, 0, FasterMA, 0, FasterMode, PRICE_CLOSE, i);
  fasterMAprevious=iMA(NULL, 0, FasterMA, 0, FasterMode, PRICE_CLOSE, i+1);
  fasterMAafter=iMA(NULL, 0, FasterMA, 0, FasterMode, PRICE_CLOSE, i-1);

  slowerMAnow=iMA(NULL, 0, SlowerMA, 0, SlowerMode, PRICE_OPEN, i);
  slowerMAprevious=iMA(NULL, 0, SlowerMA, 0, SlowerMode, PRICE_OPEN, i+1);
  slowerMAafter=iMA(NULL, 0, SlowerMA, 0, SlowerMode, PRICE_OPEN, i-1);

I don't see any evidence that it repaints.

How did you determine this?

thank you for looking at the code Xaphod...but i guess what you are saying that it cant be fixed coz the bar in the future does not exist yet or am i wrong?
