Have fun in the process!

What your refering too is not repainting if its on the current bar. If your looking a 1 hour bar then the current bar is not completed for that hour and can trigger a signal back and forth. On a 1 Minute bar then this occures just for that 1 minute time frame. You must create your indicators with that in mind. That is use the signal when the bar is closed.
If it repaints more then the last bar, then you will not be able to use that indicator in live trading and be successful.
