Defining an MA as a Variable

[laocoon]

Hello

I've almost finished my custom indicator, all I need is to add an SMA.
My question is, how do I define an SMA as a variable at the beginning of the code?

I tried: int SMA(50) but it generated an error message.

Could somebody help me out here?

Thanks a lot.

Hi laocoon,

Please try: int variableName = SMA(50)[0];

Hi Josh

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I'm getting another error message now:
"Cannot implicitly convert type "double" to "int". An explicit conversion exists.

What does that mean?

Thanks

My mistake. Please try: double variableName = SMA(50)[0];

Sorry to bother you again with this, but now it says:
"An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or Property Ninjatrader.Indicator.Indicator.SMA(int)"

Thanks
