## Repaint check
TradingView's Pine manual names MACD as showing confirmed values on historical bars and fluctuating on the open bar until it closes. Built-in code isn't public, so this is TradingView's statement, not our review. ([source](https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/concepts/repainting/))
