confused about accessing another indicator's values

[NinjaCustomer]

I would like to simply get values of another indicator that is already on the Chart.

All examples I've come across seem to be calculating a new indicator.

I just want to access values that are displayed in the DataBox.

How can I do this?

I don't want to create a new instance at runtime of the indicator just to read the data, because the properties will not be configured the same as on the chart, unless I code that in.

How can I do this?

Hello NinjaCustomer,

Thank you for your post.

There is no supported method to accomplish this.

However, there is an unsupported method for going through the ChartControl.Indicators collection and checking for certain indicators and then getting their values.

			foreach(Indicator i in ChartControl.Indicators)
			{
				if(i.Name == "SMA")
					Print(i.Value[0]);
			}

Please note that due to unsupported code I would not be able to assist in debugging or have any documentation on the subject.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
