Add() and Add() .. what is is difference?

[IceRage]

Hello,

there are two kind of the samed called Add() methods available in the help documentation. But only one of them works for me. i tried the following:

this works fine:

EMA(FastEMA).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Red;

this should also be working, but doesnt for me:

Add(new Plot(Color.Green, PlotStyle.Line, "POC"));

I know the concept of overloading methods. This seems to be such an issue

IceRage, the first adds the EMA indicator for display.

The second call just defines a plot which is not displaying anything if you don't set a value for the underlying dataseries -

Ok, but i even couldnt complile. I got the following message:

Die beste Übereinstimmung für die überladene Methode NinjaTrader.Strategy.StrategyBase.Add(NinjaTrader.Indicator.IndicatorBase) hat einige ungültige Argumente.;CS1502 - click for info;49;4;
Das Argument 1 kann nicht von NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Plot in NinjaTrader.Indicator.IndicatorBase konvertiert werden.;CS1503 - click for info;49;8;

Translated by my humble english knowledge, that means that the Signature of the method doesnt match, in a way that a Plot Objekt isnt allowed there.

"Das Argument 1 kann nicht von NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Plot in NinjaTrader.Indicator.IndicatorBase konvertiert werden" means: The Argument 1 cant converted from NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Plot to NinjaTrader.Indicator.IndicatorBase.

I suppose your are trying to Add() an indicator in the .Initialize() method of an indicator (and NOT a strategy). If so, then this is not supported.
