Indicator Mode Values Checker
Download script
This tool is designed as a diagnostic monitor for MetaTrader users who want to see the underlying raw data from two specific custom technical indicators: Solar_Wind and Triggerlines.
Instead of just looking at the visual lines on a trading chart, this script extracts the numerical values produced by those indicators in real-time and displays them as a text summary directly on your screen.
How the Logic Works
1. Data Retrieval The script acts as a "bridge." It reaches out to the two external indicators and pulls their most recent calculations. It specifically looks for different "modes" or data buffers within those indicators:
- For Solar_Wind, it identifies three distinct data streams.
- For Triggerlines, it identifies four distinct data streams.
2. Value Scaling To ensure the numbers are presented in a format that is easier to read or more compatible with certain trading calculations, the script multiplies every piece of data it retrieves by a factor of 1,000. This shifts the decimal point, making the output more uniform for analysis.
3. Real-Time Monitoring The logic runs continuously. As the market moves and prices change, the indicators update their values, and this script simultaneously captures those new numbers.
4. Visual Reporting Finally, the script gathers all these processed numbers and organizes them into a clean, readable text block on your trading platform's comment area. It displays the results side-by-side:
- It lists the three primary values for Solar_Wind.
- It lists the four primary values for Triggerlines.
Summary for the User
Think of this as a dashboard. While the original indicators provide you with visual trends on your charts, this script provides you with a "live feed" of the raw numbers driving those trends. It is an excellent way to verify that your indicators are calculating correctly or to monitor multiple data points at a single glance without cluttering your main chart area.
