Read ALert?

[Jajaofopobo]

is it possible for an indicator to read alert or an alert message from an indicator.

I don't have access to the indicator file and i want to add some conditions to it

No, unfortunately, that's not possible in MetaTrader, unless you resort to using DLLs.

Thanks @Enivid . Also thought of using icustom to get the buffer value of the indicator arrow so i can add the conditions to it later but it is not giving the value i need.

It is not giving the value i need for the ArrowUp and ArrrowDown buffer values . Been Trying to figure out what went wrong with it

couldnt proceed to add the conditions

Buffers are numbered starting from zero. So, you are reading the RSI values into your ArrowDown variable.
