Using LinReg Slope as a discriminator

[daven]

I created a working LinReg MultiPlot indicator which paints the indicator green if it is rising, red if it is falling, and yellow if it is neither. Unfortunately I almost never get any yellow line segment and if I do it only lasts for one bar. I want to make the definition of rising and falling a little wider so if the LinReg line is truly not going up or down very much it would paint yellow. I decided to use slope for the discriminator but the expression for slope (which I think is valid, will not compile. Here's what I have:

// Plot green if the LinReg is rising
// If slope > 30 then trend is up, paint LinReg Green
if (Slope(LinReg(Period), 5, 0) > 30)
{
// Connects the rising plot segment with the other plots
RisingPlot.Set(1, LinReg(Period)[1]);

// Adds the new rising plot line segment to the line
RisingPlot.Set(LinReg(Period)[0]);
}

The code line in bold doesn't compile and I get the following message (by the way, LinRegMultiplot is the name of the new indicator I am tryng to create.

No overload for method 'LinReg'MultiPlot' takes '1' arguments.

I'm stumped, cany anyone help?
Thanks

Hi DaveN, can you post more of the code? Everything you posted looks like it should compile, but without a full sample, I can't say why it doesn't compile.

If you'd like, you can email the code to support at ninjatrader dot com with Attention: Austin in the subject line.

Hi DaveN, you may have to reinstall your NinjaTrader. Let me consult with a coworker to determine the proper course of action.

I'm pretty sure I know where the original issue lies in your indicator, but that isn't the problem anymore.

I don't know where I got this but it may be what you're looking for.

Mike, thanks for the contribution!

Thanks Mike

I really appreciate your help. It is working, though the math is a little complicated for me to follow, (I didn't do too well in geometry and radians are apparenly beyond my comprehension).
Thanks again
DaveN
