- get email from an indicator
- I have an indicator and I want to trade it
- Indicator buffers and shift
If the Indicator displays the data in a way that also appears in the Data Window, then it is using buffers and you can use the iCustom() function to retrieve that data and use it in an EA.
However, if the data is instead presented purely as graphical with no data displayed in the Data Window, then you will have to scan the Graphical Objects and collect the information indirectly by retrieving it from the objects' properties. This however, will be quite difficult for beginner coders.
