Add Indicator

[cfree5119]

I wish to add the DonchianChannel indicator in one of my strategies. For instance,

Add(DonchianChannel(LongEntryBand).Upper);

Does not work but

Add(DonchianChannel(LongEntryBand));

Is not a problem. Why can't I add say just the upper and lower lines of the DonchianChannel and lose the median line? Thank you

cfree,

I am happy to assist you.

The Add method can only add full indicators or price data series. If you only want to plot the upper donchian channel, you would need to add your own plot to your indicator, and assign the upper donchian channel to it using something like :

My_plot.Set( DonchianChannel(LongEntryBand).Upper[0]);

Please let me know if I may assist further.

My_plot is setup as a variable and then assigned? I guess I am somewhat confused. Do I need to make my own indicator? Sorry, I am limited in my programming capabilities.

Yes, for this modification you would need to make a custom indicator to add where you then control what plots it displays and which not.

I setup my own indicator... now within my strategy when I call upon the indicator I get message CS1501.

Every single place where I have the following code, I am receiving this error. I says it takes one argument and that is all I am implementing.

Add(DonchianChannelModifiedSD(LongEntryBand));

The way you have coded it, your indicator requires 2 inputs; Period and NumStdDev. You cannot call it with just one input: you must provide both.

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

Koganam is correct. You needed to provide both parameters.

Thank you... after searching for a while I found out that it required two inputs just like you suggested. Appreciate the help.
