CS0118 error Indicator is a type but it is used as a variable

[johnmorgan13]

This thread is mainly to inform people of how I resolved the error code CS0118 as I couldn't find the solution anywhere. Yet I still have questions on why do I need the line
PriceTypeSupported = true;
to resolve the error.

The offending line is in the indicator that includes MyIndicator:
MyIndicator manyEma = MyIndicator();

and in MyIndcator I basically have:
protected override void Initialize() {
Add(new Plot(Color.Green, "EMA"));
Plots[0].Pen.Width = 2;
Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
PriceTypeSupported = true;
}
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries EMAflat { get { return Values[0]; }

Obviously, the NinjaTrader generated code for the cache needs to be re-generated for the error to disappear.

Hello johnmorgan13,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forum.

I am not sure why you got that error based on the code snippet here. I do not believe that

PriceTypeSupported = true;

would be able to resolve that error either. If you comment that line out to you get the error again?
