Problem with Indicator painting current bar
Posting some codes of the indicator would provide additional info for someone to help you. Use the SRC button above when posting codes or attach the indicator file works as well.

My apologies, guess it would help. My original thought was since the problem didn't seem to occur UNLESS the code was in a library, posting the code wouldn't help much.
But to recap, the code works fine it seems, in a separate window, but not in the chart window. It works fine if the routine is in the indicator code, but not when called from a library.
I've tried changing the bar processing order in two ways: reversing it, and taking out the current bar from the processing loop. I may need to reverify all of this though.

I seem to have this problem sometimes when doing mult colored line plots: the current bar paints to zero or EMPTY_VALUE...
I came across it once a few weeks back, and in that situation moved the code from a library to the indicator code and it worked fine.
This time I want to leave it in the library, and figure out what the problem is. Anyone else have this problem and found out what caused it?
In trying to fix it last time, my first assumption was that it didnt know which buffer to draw for the current bar, so it was drawing them all to the bottom of the graph, so
since I was basing the decision on the close of the bar, maybe just not process the current bar. All that did was move this issue one bar to the left lol
Any help/insight would be appreciated, as this is becoming a thorn in my side ;o)
