Need Help in calling index buffer values of Arrows Drawn on Main Chart in EA

I need to call the up arrow and down arrow, in this indicator, can someone help me please

ObjectCreate(objValley,OBJ_ARROW,

There are two types of arrows.
1. Buffers of type arrow. View (Alt+V) → Data Window (Control+D) If you see your "main indicator" and a value where there is an arrow, then read the buffer, (using iCustom) and do what you want with it.
  You should encapsulate your iCustom calls to make your code self-documenting.
  Detailed explanation of iCustom - MQL4 programming forum
2. Otherwise, it is drawing arrow objects. Charts (Alt+C) → Objects → Objects List (Control+B).
  Find the corresponding object and find the naming pattern. Then you can get all appropriate objects and their values.
  Object Functions
Your code is drawing objects.

How to read an How can I recognise get the previous object
