Have you seen these examples?

One way or the other you have to program it in your bot code, so reference the indicator in your bot instead of trying to read a value from teh chart

Hi there,

It is not possible to get the values from the chart indicator. You would need to create the indicator inside your cBot instead.

Hi there,

Let's say I have the Indicator's name “MovingAverage”, how can I create the indicator using that string? 

		assembly = typeof(cAlgo.API.Indicators.MovingAverage).Assembly;
        Type type = assembly.GetType("cAlgo.API.Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage");
        object instance = Activator.CreateInstance(type, new obj[] { //prams });

Can I use an assembly to do this ?

Thank you

Did you even look at the example URL link I provided? 

Spotware has provided an example there for the SMA.

hi,

it's a different scenario. I know how to initialise an indicator. what i am trying to do is, first getting all names of indicators added to a chart. then from the names i can initailie indicators (We don't know what indicators they will be). Finally, we can read their values. Hope I explained clear.

I think using System.Reflection can achieve that.

object result = Indicators.GetType().GetMethod("IndicatorName").Invoke(Indicators, new object[] { params };DataSeries data = (DataSeries)result.GetType().GetProperty("PropertyName").GetValue(result);

  That's what I think that can achieve my thoughts, I don't know if it is the right way. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Thank you
