Can you determine if indicator running from Market Analyzer

[ct]

Scenario:

I have an indicator that I run in market analyzer and on a chart. It can draw objects but I don't need to draw chart objects if it is not on a chart adn running via Market Analyzer.

Question:
Can an indicator determine if it is running via Market Analyzer other than a user defined parameter?

Hello ct,

Thank you for your post,

To confirm, are you asking if an indicator functions differently when plotted in the Market Analyzer vs. a chart? If not, could you please clarify?

Are you needing assistance with a custom NinjaScript addon?

We look forward to assisting further.

I just wanted to know if an indicator can determine if it's running via market analyzer or from a chart.

i wanted to condition some indicator logic if it was running from Market Analyzer.

Clear as mud?

Hello CT,

To check if the indicator is applied to a market analyzer or a chart, you could use the following if statement,

	 
if (Parent is MarketAnalyzerColumnBase)
	Print("Running on a Market Analyzer");
else
	Print("Running on chart");

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
