You can get an Indicator's buffer data using iCustom() . . . if you specifically need to get it from the chart then I think you are facing a huge challenge.

What about IndicatorBuffers() function, would this work?

Yes it works . . .

Allocates memory for buffers used for custom indicator calculations. The amount of buffers cannot exceed 8 or be less than the value given in the indicator_buffers property. If custom indicator requires additional buffers for counting, this function must be used for specifying of the total amount of buffers.

. .. in an Indicator. But you are writing an EA ?
