Object refference?

[Pete77]

In starting a new indicator under Variables I use the statement:


double priordayhigh = PriorDayOHLC () . PriorHigh [0];

I get the error message: An object reference for PriorDayOHLC() is needed.

How do I do this?

Thanks

Hello Pete77,

Thank you for writing in.

You are not going to be able to assign priordayhigh to PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[0] in the Variables region.

This value PriorHigh[0] is not going to exist until at least one bar has closed.

Instead, assign priordayhigh to PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[0] in OnBarUpdate(). OnBarUpdate() is called upon the close of every bar and the PriorHigh[0] value will exist then on the first call of OnBarUpdate().

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I am getting the same error message:

" an object reference is required for the non static field, method, or property NinjaTrader indicator.indicator PriorDayOHLC0"


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double pdhigh = PriorDayOHLC () . PriorHigh [0];
double pdlow = PriorDayOHLC() . PriorLow [0];
double pdclose = PriorDayOHLC() . PriorClose [0];

pivot = (pdhigh + pdlow + pdclose)/3;
}

Sorry, my mistake, you are right of course.
