Heiken Ashi NT8 indicator repainting

[huggy76]

I use the Heiken Ashi NT8 indicator made available in the indicator forum but I'm having problems with 'false signals' due to 'repainting' of the candles.
ive tried amending the 'calculate on' setting to 'on close' and 'each tick' but still have same issues.
ive also tried the smoothed heiken ashi indicator but this does the same.

does anybody have any ideas if there is anything I can do with current indicator or are aware of any different/better HA indicators that I could use ?

any advice gratefully received. thanks

Hello huggy76,

Thank you for your note.

This would be expected as this indicator is built off tick data and the difference of 1 tick can dramatically change the look of the candles.

Please see the following section of our helpguide,

thanks for the info there Alan. that makes sense.
So if I reloaded historical data after the completion of the bar, that would ensure all previous bars were 'complete and correct' and would not repaint again right ?

[huggy76]

adding to the last question, is there any way to auto reload data after candle completion or after set amount of time ?

thanks again

Hello huggy76,

There would be no guaranteed way to get two bar types built off tick data to look exactly the same after a reload.

You could see the following sample which demonstrates how to reload historical data through NinjaScript.
