the problem is in block 4, buffer is wrong selected (it has to be 4 or 5,6)
each custom indicator has to be tested before use:

otherwise you spend weeks looking for mistakes which could be covered in a few minutes, just with a little effort to visually test everything in the smallest possible parts:

... some indicators repaint the values, you can identify this issue with the same visual test (or using the Trace block)

the possibilities are endless if the effort is endless

In my first reply is the shared link. Generage mql4 from that and then import the generated mql4 file into your projects.

@tom-5
you are exactly right, I totally forgot about this option in the Martket properties, you can use it this way .... anyway if you come to a stage where you need more detailed logic then you already know how

@seb-0
it can execute 1000 of simple blocks in one tick as well as one very complicated custom block may need a few ticks to execute ... the above are very simple blocks (light blocks, easy to calculate)

a complicated block is something where EA has to use many array calculations (e.g. complicated work with zigzag) .... or a bad or overlooped logic

here the execution is as:
8-100-10
1
21-22 or 21-23
11
2
12-13-14

all blocks are executed at the tick X, but the order of path execution depends on the ID (lowest first) ... did you get it?

the example above goes as:
8-9-10
11
12-13-14
16
20
21-22 or 21-23
... everything in one tick (if an execution time is less as the time between 2 ticks)

You can use the trick with "int" conversion, but then put the variable in the Text(code input) option.
Text (code input) option must be selected.

The function is very very simple. It converts double value to Text (string) format with defined decimals (avgWick is the value, nr 1 is thought to be one tenth). Question is why I used it here in the Draw block? Because it is one of ways how to get rid of weird decimals printed on the chart. Text (code input) selection must be selected, otherwise it doesn't work.

You can use another functions too (it didn't work here because of the wrong selection, Text (code input) instead of Numeric)

note, the Average Wick (the Red value) is printed as soon as the value is triggered (the closing values may still change, but the Red will be printed and not changed accordingly)
you may rewrite the logic to do the change ...

Since you work with Candle ID 0 (the actual one), you won't be able to do a visual test just that easily, because the triger will be different from the closed value. Anyway, here is one (of many possible) testing purposes which can help you visualize what's going on.

I used a different way to loop than you (you still be able to achieve the goal with your loop).
Have a fun with the Candle ID 0

take an inspiration from this 3 years old thread

%D parameter is a period of MA, use the Signal line mode to obtain a moving average value

of course it is, just replace the atr with a candle size

There is a percentage that expresses how much it works and how much it does not. I am afraid I really can not help you. My recommendation is to use both MT4+MT5 for specific situations. The frustration can be relieved.

I see, it needs a nice amount of manual work. You are waiting a long time for it. I am not going to give my energy to this indicator for my opinion on MT5 tester and I see it as a waste of time (for both of us).
If your interest is really high and MT4 is not enough, try a freelancer request. Maybe you find an enthusiast who can cheaply redo the indicator for MT5.
