Checking to see if another indicator plotted a arrow.

[JamesMH]

I am looking to run a simple indicator that checks if another indicator plotted a arrow. The closes that I have come is

if(FirstIndicator(4,16).Plots[0] == true)

Where Plots[0] is an arrow.

if there a way to check for this?

JamesMH,

I would not imagine your plot to hold true/false values, but rather numeric values. In that case you would have to check against the numeric value representing an arrow in your code.

The problem is that when I compare it to numeric values I get a error says NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Plot and not be compared to double.

What is Plots[0] for your indicator created as?

[JamesMH]

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Yellow), PlotStyle.Dot, "NormColor"));

and

this.DrawArrowDown(CurrentBar.ToString(),true,0,Hi gh[0],Plots[0].Pen.Color);

UNfortunately I am not following you. Please provide the full script with all relevant parts. Thank you.

Let me try rephrasing my question.

Is it possible to have a indicator that checks if a DIFFERENT indicator plotted a arrow?

Is it possible to have a indicator that checks what the value of a plot on a DIFFERENT indicator is?

You can check if it plotted an arrow if you created a plot that informs you of an arrow being plotted. You can definitely check another indicators plot values just like how you can call SMA and get the SMA's value in any indicator.
