Interfacing with Custom Indicator without a line

 

Hi!

I want to read a custom indicator out, what could be solved with iCustom. But it does not print a line, it just draws an arrow or a point from time to time. How could I read if there is such an arrow or point?


Thanks!

 
iCustom has been discussed to death . . .   there are many threads about it.  For example:  Detailed explanation of iCustom - MQL4 forum

As long as that dot or arrow is not an object, just do it like it's a line. Line is just a dot connected to each other. Dot, arrow, section, histogram or line are just displaying stuff to a chart from indicator.

If it is an object, you have to use object functions (https://docs.mql4.com/objects) and iterate through ObjectsTotal() (https://docs.mql4.com/objects/ObjectsTotal).
