Thanks for the detailed explanation. The block flow is fairly straight forward and making sure any particular block has access to an available variable is exactly what I am trying to do. Manually placing the code for my object description find in the int start() and making sure the variable is declared seems to work for what I am doing. Of course being able to define the variables in a custom block and select which ones would be global would be a nice feature. Anyway, thanks again for the explanation.

Thanks for the feedback. I am opening a basket of currencies from an index chart and the object I need to read from is on different spot forex chart. The indicators I am using do not output the necessary information on the index chart....unfortunately. For the time being I will just manually place the variable where I need it in the code.

Hi,

I created a custom block that grabs data from another chart which can be used on the current chart. I would like to convert that output to a variable that can be used on other blocks. Not sure how to do this with custom block.

In the attached image I am using a constant to set the check avg pip profit amount but want to use the output of the custom block. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Thanks for confirming Andy.

Dreema, is there a way for us to identify which revision the web version is running and if it aligned with yours? Thank you.

I have tried to pull up my project from three different computers, trying three different browsers on two different continents (home and VPS), none show this option (on web version). I also registered under a new name to see if that would work, it didn't. Can any other user comment if they see the "Attributes set 2 (text)" option? I'm perplexed.....

Interesting. Is that a new feature? Neither of my web or desktop versions have that option. The only two drop down options I see are" Attributes (numeric)" and "Object Description". There is no "Attributes Set2 (text)".

Trying to send object description via alert message. Only numbers are showing up in alert, not text. Need text from description to show up in the alert. Can this be done? Thanks.

ok, thanks. Didn't think it was going to be that easy. If I pulled out the once per bar block, is there a straight forward way to limit the alert message to once per selected time frame, instead of each tick, that would not impact the "Set..." block?

Is it possible to use the "Set "Current Market" for next blocks" block to scan all symbols in the market watch window if they are listed in the Market List by attaching it to a single chart? I tried this but it only seemed to look at 2 or 3 different symbols instead of all the ones listed in the Market List. For example, I entered five different currency symbols in the Market List input, but it only responded to two of them, and it wasn't the first two in the list. All symbols were available in the Market Watch window. Can it be attached to multi condition blocks or does each condition block need its own "Set "Current Market" for next blocks" block? Thanks.
