Strategy vs Indicator "Constant lines"

[sergey_z]

Hello

I would like read values from Indicator "Constant lines" in a Strategy when value in Indicator will be updated/changed. Is it possible?
So user can change value of Indicator while Strategy working and Strategy have to read New value and use it in calculation.
How I can know that value of Indicator was changed?

Thanks,
Sergey

Hello sergey_z,

Thank you for your post.

You couldn't just include the indicator in your strategy and get the values directly because if a user wanted to modify the line values it would require disabling and re-enabling the strategy. Instead, theoretically the indicator could be "separate" and then the strategy looks for specific drawing objects that the indicator makes. I recommend taking a look at this indicator that is publicly available on our User App Share - you could modify the part that looks for drawing objects for use in your strategy:

ok. thanks.
Indicator will be not part of code of Strategy. Its like external object but Strategy have to read it, find specific name of Indicator and receive value from it object. This is idea.

Hello sergey_z,

Thank you for your replies.

Yes, please refer to the example I've quoted below from my previous post to see how you could look for drawing objects drawn by the indicator in your strategy:
