Help detecting this indicator's values
-
Hi guys,
In some of my trading strategies, I use this indicator:
https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/21790
The problem is that I haven't found a way to use it on a EA.
The channels it draws aren't objects, so I don't know if it is possible to detect them and use them on the EA.
The only object this indicator draws is a number, and although it being a numeric value, it draws it as a "text description", making it impossible to detect it's number (for example when value > than 95)... because it is a text.
Could anyone help me out here?
PS- I haven't attached the indicator here because MQL5 locks the indicator to the computer that downloads it.

I was asking for the specific question to Mladen , one of the former coders of forex-tsd / forex-station a few years ago and he had a battle to do it once then the knowlage was lost , and he could't / had the time to help with it.
So if anyone have the answer to it im all ears

have to add that i assume its the same type of indicator in a subwindow making a corridor channel , dont use mq5 and it didnt show a picture , but the one i am talking about came in many different methods such as rsi / stochastic / ssa and so on , buy no one had the ability to alert when it penetrated one of the lines because of what i wrote before , only when it passed the 0 line if im not mistaken.

In this case it's not on a subwindow, it's on the main chart, but I don't think there is a difference when trying ti get values from it.
I need either to get the value from the object where it reads "Current value: 67.82", which is a text, or be alerted somehow when the price penetrate a specific channel level.

You can use price </> the correct buffer for that
The object </> a specific number you can find a great explanation how to do it from miro1360

Thank you very much for your help!
I made a very noob mistake. I have literally written hundreds of EAs using FxDreema with all kinds of custom indicators, I I have no idea how I missed using the output buffers. It is very simple actually.
I think working for several hours without rest make us not remeber very simple things.
