Any way for using AddChartIndicator or similar inside another indicator?

[Waxavi]

I have an indicator B that draws some objects, I'd like to see those objects drawn inside indicator A, which references and instantiates indicator B.

At the moment I have to access these objects one by one, which is tedious, because it's over 5 indicators with many plots and objects.

I wonder if there's a way, like with the strategies, to use "AddChartIndicator" or a similar method.

Thanks for your support

No (because B would not have a chart host if it is hosted inside of A), but what you could do is make the properties of those objects accessible from B e.g. some vectors or scalars or whatever so that A can see those properties, then have A draw them all.

Hello Waxavi,

Thank you for your post.

AddChartIndicator() is only available for use within a strategy script. If you are wanting to see objects created in one indicator while it is called from another indicator, you would have to take an approach similar to what Bruce mentioned or combine the logic of both indicators into one. If the plots and values from indicator B that you'd like to have drawn are exposed, then you could access those values and plots from indicator A and add logic into indicator A that draws them on the chart. The following reference sample demonstrates how to expose indicator values that are not plots and might be useful in your situation:
