Non repainting indicators
Indicators that
never repaint
A repainting indicator changes its past values after new bars arrive, so signals that looked perfect in history were never really there. On AlgoBars, a value on a bar never uses a later bar, and the same script on the same data gives the same result every time. Signals you see on closed bars in history are the signals the indicator actually gave. Custom indicators are free and unlimited.

How to spot repainting
- Note a signal on the most recent bars.
- Wait for more bars to print.
- If the old signal moved or vanished, the indicator repaints.
What AlgoBars guarantees

- Live bar note
- The bar that is still forming updates until it closes, as on any platform.
Do AlgoBars indicators repaint?
No. A value on a closed bar never uses a later bar, so history does not change.
Why do some indicators repaint?
They use future bars, or recalculate past values as new data arrives.
