Hi

I am running mt5 v.5 built 507 on window 7.

Often I have to restart the platform for the indicator to update. any idea how this can be fixed?

thx

Do you mean that when the new bar is drawn, your indicator doesn't display anything on it?

Oh... Now I see (read the commentary in your code). Try just to remove the indicator from the chart and add it again.
