Referencing Chart Markers from an Indicator

[coolmoss]

I have a tiny bit of experience with the IDrawObjects collection. It lead me to an idea which would need to do the following: First, a user would manually add chart markers at various locations. The indicator I had in mind would cycle through the entire Draw Objects collection to see if there was, say a diamond, on that bar, and if there was, set the indicator value to 1 for that bar.

Is this possible to do?

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

Yes, you can do it. Please see the below code which demonstrates it.

foreach(IDrawObject o in DrawObjects)
{
	if (o.UserDrawn)
	{
		if (o.DrawType == DrawType.FibonacciRetracements)
		{
			IFibonacciRetracements fibs = (IFibonacciRetracements)o;
			//do stuffs
	        }
		else if (o.DrawType == DrawType.Ray)
		{
			IRay ray = (IRay)o;
			//do stuffs
		}
		else if (o.DrawType == DrawType.Line)
		{
			ILine line = (ILine)o;
			//do stuffs
		}
	        // etc etc
	}
}
