how to detect arrow drawn on chart?

[Deleted] 2007.09.16 03:56

i have a ex4 indicator that generates signals.

im wondering if there is a way to scan the curren charts for red or blue arrows drawn by the indicator, and send a 0 and 1 respectively to another EA im writing.

for(int i = 0; i < ObjectsTotal(); i++){

string name = ObjectName(i);

if(ObjectType(name) == OBJ_ARROW){

if(ObjectGet(name, OBJPROP_COLOR) == Red){

GlobalVariableSet("FoundRedArrow", 1);

}

}

}

phy:

for(int i = 0; i < ObjectsTotal(); i++){

string name = ObjectName(i);

if(ObjectType(name) == OBJ_ARROW){

if(ObjectGet(name, OBJPROP_COLOR) == Red){

GlobalVariableSet("FoundRedArrow", 1);

}

}

}

does not work.

a red arrow is drawn, but no object appears in object list, hence - no detection.

The solution is to search the buffers! (there are only 8 of them, so it is a breath)
