Detection of indicator

[trader2be]

Is it possible to determine programmatically from indicator X that indicator Y has been applied to the chart? If so, how?
Thanks!

Hi trader2be,

There is no supported way of doing this. However you could certainly create an alert or Log or Output message to alert you that the specific iteration of the indicator has been applied.

Thanks for the prompt response. Here is what I am trying to accomplish: I have two indicators that use symbols on top or below the price bars to display certain states. The first indicator, X, uses up to 3 symbols on top/below the bar, and Y uses one symbol. I would like for the position of the symbol produced by Y to be relative to the position of the symbols produced by X so that they don't overlap. The easiest solution would be to reserve space for X and for Y so that they never overlap but if X is not loaded I would like to avoid the 'empty space' between the entry bar and the symbol produced by Y. Any ideas?

Hi trader2be,

You wish to consider coding all your indicators in one script, where you can enable or disable the indicators plots or drawings from the UI.
