Detect instance of Market Analyzer

[zextra]

I would like to be able to detect within an indicator if it was instantiated from Market Analyzer

something like

if (MarketAnalyzer)
{
blah
}

is this possible?

Hello zextra,

Here is a method that was provided to me for checking the window type.

private string IsRunningIn()
{
    // Find the top most NinjaScriptBase
    NinjaScriptBase topMost = this;
    for (; topMost.Parent != null; topMost = topMost.Parent) {}

    // Check if it is a Market Analyzer Indicator Column
    MarketAnalyzerColumns.IndicatorMarketAnalyzerColumn ma = topMost as MarketAnalyzerColumns.IndicatorMarketAnalyzerColumn;

    if (ma != null)
        return "Market Analyzer";

    // Check if its a SuperDom Indicator
    IndicatorSuperDomBase sd = topMost as IndicatorSuperDomBase;

    if (sd != null)
        return "Super DOM";

    // Check if it is a chart indicator
    IndicatorBase ib = topMost as IndicatorBase;

    if (ib != null)
        return "Chart";

    return "Unknown";
}

Thanks for the piece of code. In the meantime I was able to detect Market Analyzer by doing this

if (this.Parent != null && this.Parent.ToString() == "NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.MarketAnalyzerColumns.Ind icatorMarketAnalyzerColumn")
