Hi, I am making very simple indicator which just checks all MAs and draws 2 line for high and low values. But by some reasons, after initialization it draws wrong lines and only if I leave it runing for some time it starts to draw "correct lines".

//--------------------------------------------------------------------That is a multi time frame indicator using 6 time frames - you have to check the number of changed bars for each and every target time frame r else it will always work like that
Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to find a minimum number of tool bars among of all timeframes and use it in the while loop ?
I have done it, but still get the same wrong output .... :-(

It can be done Will post you one solution
Thank you!!!

What is the wrong result you are getting?
That code will find the minimal number of bars of the scaned time frames
