How do I get the color of an indicator programatically

[mike82]

basically what I want to do is to get the color of an indicator (single plot) and set its text to that same color.

so that if I have WMA(20) and EMA(30) i can easily tell which is which by their colors of the text

Hello Mike82,

Thank you for your post.

You may be able to achieve what you want with custom programming, and the following reference sample helps with some of the label formatting available. The DrawTextFixed() method provides an overload that allows font colors.

is there a way to remove the text that lists the indicators used from the chart?

Mike82,

You have to remove this manually by Right Clicking > Indicators > and then clearing out the label field for selected indicator.

To retrieve a Plot's color, try:
Plots[#].Pen.Color

Where # = the number of the Plot (starting at 0) that you Add in Initialize.
