What am I doing wrong ?

[hsrad]

Hello NinjaTrader7 support,..

I'm trying to code and indicator. I dont want to plot it but I want it to be re-used again and again so its a kind of function.

I have created a DataSeries called fastK and I'm setting it up as follows.

double curC = Close[0];



            double var0= MIN(Close,40)[0];
            double var1 = MAX(High,40)[0];
            double var2 = curC - var0;
            double var3 = var1-var0;

            if (var3>0)
            {
                fastK.Set( var2 / var3 * 100);
            }
            else
            {
                fastK.Set(0);    
            }


        }

        #region Properties
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public DataSeries fastK
        {
        get {return fastK;}
        }
        #endregion

In variables section I declared private DataSeries fastK;
and at Initialize() method i write fastK = new DataSeries(this);

now the problem is, as u can see, I want that fastK to be exposed for another indicators. so i try make it public in #region Properties section. but I get an error that

Indicator\fastKCustom.cs The type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.fastKCustom' already contains a definition for 'fastK' CS0102 - click for info 70 21

What am i doing wrong ??

Thanks, And also How can i get average of this same indicator while i using it in another indicator ? (plz help i m not able to do things easily in ninja)

Regards

The actual EasyLanguage code for that fastKCustom function is as follows..

inputs: 
    PriceValueH( numericseries ),  
    PriceValueL( numericseries ), 
    PriceValueC( numericseries ), 
    StochLen( numericsimple ) ;

variables: 
    var0( 0 ),               
    var1( 0 ),                 
    var2( 0 ),              
    var3( 0 ) ;                

var0 = Lowest( PriceValueL, StochLen ) ;
var1 = Highest( PriceValueH, StochLen ) ;
var2 = PriceValueC - var0 ;
var3 = var1 - var0 ;

if var3 > 0 then
    FastKCustom = var2 / var3 * 100 
else 
    FastKCustom = 0 ;

Where current high, low, close and stochastic length is passed from other indicators , which i hardcoded as i dont know how to do things with ninja C#. I'm learning it again...

Hello hsrad,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

The compiler is advising that you cannot create a both a public and a private data series with the same name: fastK. In this case I would suggest changing the public name to be FastK (C# would recognize FastK and fastK as two different variables).

You can use other indicators with an indicator or strategy by calling the class name and providing the parameters, for example:

OnBarUpdate()
{

double test = SMA(High, 20)[0]; // assign the current value of a 20 period simple moving average of the High data series

double test1 = Bollinger(2, 14).Upper[0]; // assign the current value of the upper plot of the bollinger line

}

You may want to spend some time reviewing the NT7 help guide and work through a couple of tutorials in there. Here are some good links:

Thanks Paul,

Seems like it solved the problem.

Somehow i managed to get it worked the way u suggested. I will need to check on live data stream about its efficiency. Thanks again...
