no edit summary
Sets the value calculated by a signal that is to be used for plotting from an indicator. It can be considered as a bridge between a signal and an indicator. Using '''i_setplotvalue ''' and '''[[i_getplotvalue ]]''' keywords makes it possible to avoid copying the same script for calculation the same value in both indicator and signal.
===Usage===
=== Notes===
# '''i_setplotvalue''' can be used in signals, functions and
#* indicators if any signal is applied to the main chart.
# Values will be transferred between '''i_setplotvalue''' and '''[[i_getplotvalue]]''' ONLY within 1 chart window,# '''i_setplotvalue''' and '''[[i_getplotvalue]]''' will return 0 if applied to the Market Scanner Window,# '''i_setplotvalue''' and '''[[i_getplotvalue]]''' cannot be used while backtesting a portfolio,# '''i_setplotvalue''' and '''[[i_getplotvalue]]'''cannot be referred historically,
# it is possible to use unlimited indexes for data transfer.
=== Usage ===
Set the max drawdown and open equity values calculated by the signal to be transferred into the indicator with indexes 111 and 112
