My indicator draws the lines and graphical objects. I can edit manually the outputs color from the properties of indicator. Can I catch the event of change outputs color in the code to change the color of graphical objects to the same color?

API Support wrote: Note that you can't "listen" to the color change, however, you can check for the color change with a certain interval. This solution to wait for new tick to change the color of chart objects looks imperfect.  Ok. It seems that I need to request for new method to IIndicator interface like setOptInputParameter.

We already explained that indicators are not design for such purposes. Consider writing a strategy for this.

I would try downloading the jforex API which includes the source java code for the standard indicators, then modify the indicator you want to do what you want when ever the state happens that currently only changes a colour.
I have modified some of the standard indicators my self so I can tell you that its very possible.
