I would like for my custom indicator in the charts within a session to adjust to the direction of the current open position of the system. Something along these lines: If GetMarketPos(0) = +1 Then Risk1A = Min(Risk1, Risk1 * AdjustRisk) Else If GetMarketPos(0) = -1 Then Risk1A = Max(Risk1, Risk1 * AdjustRisk) Else Risk1A = Risk1 End If End If Plot1(p0 + Risk1A / ContVal) In this case, although the GetMarketPos(0) function verifies correctly inside the custom indicator plot, it doesn't seem to recognize any open positions in the corresponding system attached to the same session. Same goes for GetCurrentPosition and GetCurrentSize. It seems it should be doable to pass system info to a custom indicator plot as there already is a built-in chart equity line function. But how?

The system based functions will not work from indicators. You need to use the Processor API based functions. You can use the market object by using the thismarket object. ' TradersStudio(r) (c) 2005-2007 ' Shows how to access Market object from a session ' It uses Thismarket Sub TS_PlotDrawdown() Plot1(Thismarket.Equity(BarNumber).Drawdown) End Sub
