I had a question about finding out about what the color of a given indicator on the screen was at a given time.
I had two thoughts about how to do this, but I have not been able to make any headway.
1. I know that there are functions to set the Price bar colors using SetPriceBarColor, setcolorpricebars, and setbar, so I was thinking if there was a corresponding "get" function to one of these then I could read this from the screen.
2. I could call the indicator which does the "coloring" of the price bar directly and then access the information. I have done something similar in the past, but in this case I do not have the
source for the EFS and when I try to do the following I get null when I debugprintln the v1 variable.
var v1 = efsExternal("paintmeredblue.efs",6,0xff0000,0x0000 ff);
I am not sure if I am not doing something correctly or if they do not return the value of the current color. In either case, I am not sure how to find out what the color that the indicator is setting.
Thanks,
Brian
