Hi. Do not repaint.
The market always tries to make new highs and if it does not succeed it tries to make new lows and vice versa.
This indicator tries to represent in a single time frame the support and resistance lines that are in higher time frames.
The visual result does not satisfy me at all, it works better with the market active since with the market stopped, the highs and lows are already known and the indicator anticipates, which does not happen with the market active.
The idea is to find support and resistance levels.
Thanks for your kind question and good luck.

Does this repaint or not? I was used to MT4 but never thought about repainting issue on cTrader. Thank You! :)

 

Lovely indi. Looks great on my chart.
