MarketAnalyzerColumn - SMA(int) 'method' but is used like a 'type'

[cutzpr]

I get the following error below when trying to call an indicator from a custom Market Analyzer Column using this code. It works just fine in indicators and strategies.

    public class test : MarketAnalyzerColumn
    {
        private SMA smaSlow;

        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description                    = @"t";
                Name                        = "test";
                Calculate                        = Calculate.OnBarClose;
                Slow                                                = 25;
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                smaSlow = SMA(Slow);
            }
        }

Hello cutzpr,

Thank you for your post.

Indicators could not be used as variables in the Market Analyzer Columns. You will likely find what you need by creating an indicator and using the Indicator Column in the Market Analyzer to call your custom indicator.
