stasbz,

You are passing in a value. You need to pass in a dataseries.

Create a dataseries like this.

private DataSeries sAbs;

protected override void Initialize()
{
sAbs = new DataSeries(this);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
sAbs.Set(Open[0] - Close[0]);

double smaValue = SMA(sAbs, Period)[0];
}

Hope this helps.
