Tester Custom Indicator Load and Remove Repeatedly
I still see this problem and its usually when im optimising performance.
I suspect this happens as a result of mt4 updates? Well here is the code -- is there anything wrong with it?

Is it normal for tester to repeatedly load and remove custom indicators with MT4 Build 625?
On demo account the indicator loads and does not remove itself while running..
The indicator is Heiken Ashi and its called on three timeframes., yet shows its repeatedly removing and loading on just one timeframe.
Also- i didnt see any data downloading, I checked the historical data and its all downloaded.
The data is taken from the beginning of the year. This does'nt happen if the test is done from one week ago.
