Determine input plot from FormatPriceMarker()

[neoikon]

I have an indicator that has multiple plots and each may need to be formatted slightly differently for Market Analyzer display. For example, one may be a price and one may simply be a count, or a code to trigger a Market Analyzer condition.

Is there a way to determine which plot is being run through FormatPriceMarker() at any given time? I was hoping the "InputPlot" would help give a selected plot index, but that seems to be always "0".

In my case, I'm using the indicator within Market Analyzer. So, for a given column, there is a selected indicator and selected Plot for that indicator. Perhaps this is exposed somewhere?

For now, my hack is to compare the current plot value to the value passed into FormatPriceMarker() and see if they are the same. If two plots are the same at any point, then this would not work, obviously.

if (myPlot1.GetValueAt(CurrentBar) == value) ... 

Thank you!

Hello neoikon,

Thanks for the post.

I just inquired with our product management team if this is possible in any way. It doesn't seem like it is possible because we're only given a double value to work within FormatPriceMarker(). I will follow up on this thread when I have an answer from product management.

Edit:
There is no supported way to do per plot formatting. I will add a feature request for this item.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Thank you for the reply. If nothing else, I was hoping there was a way to access the column's properties object to determine the context that it's is running under (the Indicator is selected and a particular plot is selected).
