Errors in implementing DataSeries

[grd974]

Here is some code I borrowed from this forum :

private int AskTotCumulativeVolume;
AskTotCumulativeVolume = e.MarketDepth.Ask.TotalVolume(5);

this is the code I compiled and the error message I got :

private DataSeries averageAsk;
averageAsk = new DataSeries(this);
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries Plot0
{
get { return Values[6]; }
}
averageAsk.Set(SMA(AskTotCumulativeVolume, 10));
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'int' to 'NinjaTrader.Data.IDataSeries'
Plot0.Set(averageAsk);
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'NinjaTrader.Data.DataSeries' to 'double'

Please, let me know what I should do to have that SMA plotted ?

Try:

averageAsk.Set(SMA(AskTotCumulativeVolume, 10)[0]);
Plot0.Set(averageAsk[0]);

Hi Ray,

Sorry to let you know, I have one error left :

averageAsk.Set(SMA(AskTotCumulativeVolume, 10)[0]);
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'int' to 'NinjaTrader.Data.IDataSeries'

AskToCummulativeVolume is of type 'int' and not of type 'IDataSeries'. You can not pass into the SMA() method the variable AskToCummulativeVolume. You need to store this data in a DataSeries object.

Is it possible to create a DataSeries object that is not synced with historical data bars and use it like an array?

Nope. Just use e.g. an ArrayList.
