Beginner Indicator Problem

[scott__]

I cannot find the problem with this indicator - I was literally following someone doing a webinar and for the life cannot see what is wrong.

error - "Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'NinjaTrader.Data.DataSeries' Line 95

Can someone please help me out. Now when I create another separate Indicator - and try to compile - it gives me the same error and references the above indicator.

Any help would be appreciated I have attached the indicator.

Thanks,

Hi scott,

The compile error is caused by this section:

[Browsable(false)]	// this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
[XmlIgnore()]		// this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
public DataSeries Signal
{
get { return _signal[0]; }
}

I don't see anywhere in your code you use this DataSeries Signal, so you can delete all of the above section and it will likely compile and work.

The structure for that section of code would be needed if you wanted to expose the value of _signal from another indicator, using the public Signal that's linked to it. If you want to maintain this functionality, try with this change:

[Browsable(false)]	// this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
[XmlIgnore()]		// this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
public DataSeries Signal
{
get { return _signal; }
}

Ryan - figured it out - thank you that was it.

What should I be looking for? For help resolving your compile errors, please see my last reply for two different approaches.

sorry - my lack of understanding at this point lead to the response. I made the change you recommended and all is good

Thanks again
