    Access the color property of an indicator in a strategy

    I have looked around for how to do this, but have been unable to find out how. I have an indicator that I want to use as a filter for a strategy I am building. It is a ma indicator that changes color based on if it is in chop, long bias, or short bias. Is there a way for me to access the color of the plot of a certain bar.
    For example:
    if(indicator()[0] == Color.Blue || indicator()[0] == Color.Green)
    //Place trade
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello laces2,
    Thanks for writing in and I am happy to assist you.

    Yes, you can access the color as long the indicator is plotted on the chart from the initialize section of the strategy (using the Add(MyIndicator() code), and for realtime values only. Please use the below code to do it.

    Code:
    if (MyIndicator().PlotColors[0][1] == Color.Green)
    {
      //do something
    }
    Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
