Quick questions about using an Indicator as a Market Analyzer column

[neoikon]

From within the indicator, is there a flag that can be checked if the indicator is running within Market Analyzer (in order to enable/disable certain features, for example) instead of a chart?

Also, the primary way Market Analyzer reads information from the indicator is looking at it's Plots, correct? Is there a way to transmit non-numerical information? For example, a string? If I want the column to read "My Setup" or "My Other Setup", is that possible?

Thank you!

Hello neoikon,

Try:

if (Parent is MarketAnalyzerColumnBase)
	Print("Running on a Market Analyzer");

No, if you want something other than a plot read, you would want to make the script as a MarketAnalyzer column and not as an indicator.

You could use a plot value to trigger a cell filter though with some preset messages
