Access graphical objects from a strategy

[akuntysh]

Hello! I am trying to make the strategy "see" graphical objects drawn by a custom indicator. While my code can "see" the objects drawn on the chart manually, it refuses to catch objects drawn by the custom indicator. Here is my code:

foreach (IDrawObject obj in DrawObjects){
Print(obj.Tag);
}

Can you please advise me on if I am doing something wrong?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

This would not be anything you are doing wrong, this would actually be expected. Only Manually drawn objects or objects drawn by this script could be seen in the collection provided. Other scripts objects would not be seen by this collection.

You would instead need to edit the indicator that is producing the drawing and expose a plot to be used as a signal. You could then call the other indicator to retrieve its values.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello Jesse! Than you for your reply.
1. Unfortunately, I don't have the indicator's code, since it is purchased from another vendor.
2. Is there any other collection that handles objects drawn by all scripts on the current chart?
3. In NT8 I am able to access any objects drawn by any script: is it different to NT7 in this?

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

In this case, you would likely need to contact the vendor to see if a signal can be exposed in a future update. Unfortunately, there are no collections I could provide that would have other scripts objects in it.

Going forward in NT8 it is possible to see other script drawn objects, you can locate an example that shows the syntax required to see what is selected here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...87&postcount=6

I look forward to being of further assistance.
