SuperTrend Compiler Error

[oldredtop]

I'm trying to code a very simple strategy that uses the basic SuperTrend indicator that I believe came with NT7. I keep getting a compiler error "NinjaTrader.Indicator.SuperTrend.Trend is inaccessible due to it's protection level". Any idea what this error points too?

Based on Google research (and reading the entire 24 page SuperTrend thread :eek:), I suspect it may be something to do with the overload syntax, but I am not enough of a programmer to be sure. Trend does exist as a bool series in the SuperTrend indicator code. Here is the the code line that generates the compiler error listed above...

if (!SuperTrend(14, 2.66, true).Trend[0] && SuperTrend(14, 2.66, true).Trend[1])


If any one can help me see the error of my ways, it would be greatly appreciated..http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/images/smilies/wink.png

Thanks in advance.

Hello oldredtop,

This indicator is not supplied by NT. We unfortunately can't offer much support for it. Hopefully a community member that has experience with it can help out here.

Thanks for the quick reply Ryan...and for setting the record straight that NT was not the source of the indicator. It seems the older I get, the harder it is to keep track of stuff like that... :rolleyes:

Can you offer any insight into the "inaccessible due to it's protection level" error phrase? What is protected? Does that point to a C# error or a Ninjascript environment error?

That is a C# error - Trend is not available from where you're trying to access it. This error would be generated if Trend was only declared privately.

Thanks Ryan. That helps clarify where I need to research...;)

[oldredtop]

Research complete. Problem solved by changing the bool series variable in SuperTrend from private to public. I OBVIOUSLY need to dig into the C# syntax more...:cool:

Thanks again Ryan.
