Indicator not counting zero bar.

The crux of the issue is an indicator not counting the zero bar( current bar), but still counting all other bars. To resolve this, you have to manually refresh to get accurate, real time drawing line positioning on the indicator. Now, it works fine in offline charts, but that is only because they are constantly refreshing. I have images to post, but am disallowed by the board.

Here is what I suspect to be part of the issue:
 
Code
if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
int limit=Bars-counted_bars;
if(counted_bars==0) limit-=1+numbars+1;
for(i=0; i<limit; i++)

I've gotten suggestions for this as the solution:
 
Code
int lookback = numbars + 1;  // for(j<numbars+1) Close[in+j+1]
int limit=Bars - MathMax(lookback, counted_bars);
for(i=limit-1; i>=0; --i)

I've considered something like this:
 
Code
   counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
   limit=Bars-counted_bars-1;
   if(limit>MaxHistory-1) limit=MaxHistory-1;
   for(i=limit;i>=0;i--)
It doesn't seem to work however. I'm thinking that perhaps an easier workaround would be an auto-refresh function on a .25 second interval added to the original code? Admittedly, I am an amateur in this field of writing code, but resolving this is a critical piece in keeping my overall strategy semi-automated and expanding it to the world of big money. I greatly appreciate any help.

The indicator is based on the Maximum Entropy Method, you can google it to find it since I can't link it.
