IndicatorParameters
IndicatorParameters
Based on the specified handle, returns the number of input parameters of the indicator, as well as the values and types of the parameters.
int IndicatorParameters(
int indicator_handle, // indicator handle
ENUM_INDICATOR& indicator_type, // a variable for receiving the indicator type
MqlParam& parameters[] // an array for receiving parameters
);Parameters
- indicator_handle
[in] The handle of the indicator, for which you need to know the number of parameters its is calculated on.
- indicator_type
[out] A variable if the ENUM_INDICATOR type, into which the indicator type will be written.
- parameters[]
[out] A dynamic array for receiving values of the MqlParam type, into which the list of indicator parameters will be written. The array size is returned by the IndicatorParameters() function.
Return Value
The number of input parameters of the indicator with the specified handle. In case of an error returns -1. For more details about the error call the GetLastError() function.

//--- Take all indicators in the window
for(int i=0;i<total;i++)

//--- Get the indicator handle

);
}

}
//--- Done for all indicators in the window
