Hi Christian,

Thanks for posting in our forum, You can find an example of how to call an indicator inside another indicator here. Let me know if this helps.

Best Regards,

Hi Panagiotis,

unfortunatly not really, as the reason I want to access the indicator on the chart is, that I don't want to take care of the indicator values inside the second indicator. Changing the indicator values on the chart gives new indicartor results. If I don't set the second indicator (referencing the one on the chart) to the same changed values, I have different results.

EG: I have a customMA (period 14) on the chart. My Chartvaluesindicator references that customMA and I have to submit the period 14 as I understand it

(_HMA = Indicators.GetIndicator<HullMovingAverage>(Source, 35, 14, 14);

If I now change the values of the HullMovingAverage on my chart, but not the referenced one in the chartvalues indicator, they show different results.

The Market Snapshot is obviously accessing the values of the indicators in the chart area and I would love to know how.

Hi Christian,

There is no way to access the actual indicators plotted on the chart.

Is there maybe some kind of Global Variables or Datasets, which can be shared by all indicators on one chart or maybe even over multiple charts? 

It would open really interesting possibilities.

Hi Christian,

No there isn't. You could consider using a file instead.
