# int _AppliedTo
The _AppliedTo variable allows finding out the type of data, used for indicator calculation:
| Data type | Meaning | Description of data used for indicator calculation. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| — | 0 | The indicator uses the second OnCalculate() call form - the data for calculation are not specified by a certain buffer or data array |
| Close | 1 | Close prices |
| Open | 2 | Open prices |
| High | 3 | High prices |
| Low | 4 | Low prices |
| Median Price (HL/2) | 5 | Median price = (High+Low)/2 |
| Typical Price (HLC/3) | 6 | Typical price = (High+Low+Close)/3 |
| Weighted Price (HLCC/4) | 7 | Weighted price = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 |
| Previous Indicator's Data | 8 | Data of the indicator, which was launched on the chart before this indicator |
| First Indicator's Data | 9 | Data of the indicator, which was launched first on the chart |
| Indicator handle | 10+ | Data of the indicator, which was passed to the iCustom() function using the indicator handle. The _AppliedTo value contains the indicator handle |
Example:
```
