Coding Question

[dwalls]

I cant get this to compile. It looks right to me and those are the correct settings on the indicator.

&& TrendStrengthA(Close,EMA,100,5,5)[0]> 60)

I also tried this:

&& TrendStrengthA(Close,EMA,100,5,5).TrendStrength[0]< 50)
I get this error message for both:
The best overloaded method match for 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.Indicator.TrendStrengthA(Ni njaTrader.Data.IDataSeries, VC.NinjaScript.Utility.MovingAverageType, int, int, int)' has some invalid arguments CS1502

Argument '2': cannot convert from 'method group' to 'VC.NinjaScript.Utility.MovingAverageType' CS1503

Thanks for your help

Try substituting EMA with

NinjaTrader.Indicator.MAV.MAType.EMA

[dwalls]

That didnt work either, but thanks for the imput.
Much appreciated, mrlogik.

Hi dwalls,

Can you please post your code for the TrendStrengthA, then I can take a look...Thanks!

[dwalls]

Thanks NinjaTrader_Bertrand.
Attached is the code for the TrendStrenghtA indicator, I just downloaded it from the Indicators section of this forum.
Here is a sample of what I am trying to code:

if (CurrentBar < 5)
return;
if (CrossAbove(EMA(Close,5), EMA(Close,20), 1)
&& TrendStrengthA (Close,EMA,100,5,5)[1]> 60)

But the second line wont compile.

Thanks

Try this and let me know (I don't have NT w/ me now to test)

TrendStrengthA(Close, MovingAverageType.EMA, 100, 5, 5).TrendStrength[0]

[dwalls]

Thanks mrlogik.
I did try that and I get this error message:

The name 'MovingAverageType' does not exist in the current context CS0103.

Thanks

At the top of your file where you see the "using" lines, add this

using VC.NinjaScript.Utility;

Sorry, its hard to try things out without NT on this computer.

[dwalls]

That worked. Thanks mrlogik.
Not bad for no NT.

What does that "using VC.NinjaScript.Utility;" do?

Thanks for your help.

[mrlogik]

Its a namespace that defines different enums for use within the TrendStrengthA indicator.

The MovingAverageType type is defined from within this namespace.

Anywhere you want to use the TrendStrengthA indicator, you will need to add that include at the top of the file.
