Help: How to make 1 indicator query another's data?
I'm trying to write a indicator that makes use of another's data. The indicator I want to query is a Heiken Ashi indicator and I want to determine what type of bar it's painting at any given point along the chart.
Looking through the code of the H/A indicator, I can see how to determine this information but my problem is how do I pass it back to another indicator when it needs it?
So - as my indicator parses over each bar in the chart, I'd like to query the H/A indicator so it can tell me what type of bar it's paining - an UP or a DOWN bar so I can detect when it changes and take specific action.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might do this?
Any help appreciated.
I just start write some indicator recently (last week, exactly).
For your matter, this is what I done to pass value between indicator
on 1st indicator, I set text value into one (Hidden) Label, say lblData
on 2nd indicator, I read the value of that object --> ObjectGetString(0, "lblData", OBJPROP_TEXT)
P.S. I don't know about separate windows indicator, but indicator on chart, seem object can shared between indicator.
