Gets 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===
<syntaxhighlight>
i_getplotvalue(index, value);
</syntaxhighlight>
''Where'':
*'''index''' is the reference number
*'''value''' is the value that is to be received.
=== Notes===
# '''i_getplotvalue''' can be used in 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 ===
Plot in the indicator the max drawdown and open equity values calculated by the signal with indexes 111 and 112
<syntaxhighlight>
plot1(i_getplotvalue(111), "MaxIDDrawdown");
plot2(i_getplotvalue(112), "OpenEquity");
</syntaxhighlight>
