doesn't SMA() return a double?

[crmcwi]

If so, then why does this code not compile? The error message is that SMA cannot be implicitly converted into a double. I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Thank you for your help.

/*if (varyStop) {
stopLimit = SMA(Range(), 14);

} else stopLimit = 10;
*/

SMA(Range(), 14) returns DataSeries
if you need double you have to use SMA(Range(), 14)[0]

Thank you roonius. I realized my mistake when I woke up this morning.
