I have a 3rd party indicator that I would like to make strategy entries from. It does not generate plots or and bool conditions just a DrawSquare object on the chart. I know its possible to detect these. Does anyone know how?
Thanks

I assume the code is locked. Why not ask the developer for assistance?

The code is locked - as it should be. I contacted the developer. They said there were no plans to offer any plots in the future.

Not sure if this will meet your needs but from the Ninja help file:

NinjaScript > Language Reference > Drawing >

DrawObjects



Definition
A collection holding all of the draw objects on the chart for the primary bar series. The draw objects can be manually drawn or script generated objects.



Property Value

A collection of IDrawObject objects.



Syntax

DrawObjects

DrawObjects[string tag]

DrawObjects.Count






Examples

// Example #1: Finding the draw object of a specific tag

protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{

if (DrawObjects["someTag"] != null && DrawObjects["someTag"].DrawType == DrawType.Line)

{

// Do something

}

}



// Example #2: Number of draw objects on a chart

protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{

if (DrawObjects.Count == 3)

{

// Do something

}

}



// Example #3: Looping through the collection to find specific draw objects

protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{

// Loops through the DrawObjects collection

foreach (IDrawObject draw in DrawObjects)

{

// Finds line objects that are attached globally to all charts of the same instrument

if (draw.Tag.StartsWith("@") && draw is ILine)

{

ILine globalLine = (ILine) draw;



// Changes the line color and prints its starting and end points

globalLine.Pen.Color = Color.Black;

Print("Start: " + globalLine.StartBarsAgo + " End: " + globalLine.EndBarsAgo);

}



// Finds non-global line objects

else if (draw is ILine)

{

ILine drawnLine = (ILine) draw;



// Determines if this is a manually drawn or script generated line

Print("Line Object: " + draw.Tag + " Manually Drawn: " + draw.UserDrawn);

}

}

}

WOW! - Very helpful. I will chew through these options today - Thanks very much @Tasker_182
I didn't see this in the help section

Can somebody help with this: create indicator that generates output such as: triangle object up = +1, triangle object down = -1, no triangle = 0.

Thanks.
