Testing for Drawing Object

[Mike Winfrey]

Is there any way to test for the existance of a drawing object like down and up trangles that are in the indicator panel?

Thanks,
Mike

Unfortunately this is not supported.

What you could do is run a bool when your strategy/indicator draws an object. If that bool is true then there is an object somewhere. If its false then there are none.

Unfortunately, the indicator that I am watching was developed by someone else and the code is locked. So, I have no way of inserting code into that indicator. I have a custom indicator that I've written and would like it to test for the existance of the triangle that was displayed by that other indicator.

thanks,

You are going to have to ask the original author to expose some variable that evaluates to true when it draws a triangle then. With that variable you can determine if the object was drawn or not.

That's what I figured but thought I'd ask just in case.

Thanks,
