error in code

[skynetman]

Why doesn't this line compile?

int xyz = Math.Sign(BOP(bopDaysLong)[0]);

Thx

The error messages at the bottom of the editor window will provide you an idea what's wrong with your code.

It compiles for me.

are you sure bopDaysLong is defined? What does the compile error say?

I would replace bopDaysLong with a static value like 5 just to test

Ok guys, that compiles. By chance i have removed the part of the line that gave the problem

It's

private int xyz = Math.Sign(BOP(bopDaysLong)[0]);

that gives a lot of errors.
Why can't i define a local variable inside OnBarUpdate() ??

[mrlogik]

You can't declare a private within a private method (OnBarUpdate).

Just remove the private part of that line, there is no need for it as all variables declared within OnBarUpdate are inherently private.
