You also can access value for Plots without public DataSeries defined.
There is public DataSeries[] Values from IndicatorBase which you can access.
Values[0] are values for Plot[0], Values[1] are values for Plot[1] ...

If the vendor creates a property for each plot in the property section, the plots should be accessible.

As an example you can have a look at the MACD. In the properties section of the code, there are three public DataSeries Default, Avg & Diff. These public DataSeries allow to access the 3 plots.

If your vendor has forgotten to create such public DataSeries objects, the plots cannot be accessed.

If you have an indicator with a single plot (not other plots), such as the EMA, it is not necessary to declare the public properties, as you can directly access the indicator.
