Default 'VMA' not available in strategy

[Trader.Jon]

Greetings,

I was using the default VMA in a strategy, but an error on each compile. I do believe that the dataseries in VMA is available to use in a strategy?!

I used a double :
b1_VMA[0] = VMA(BarsArray[1],iUseVMAPeriod,iUseVMAPeriodCMO).VMA[0];

and received an error:
" Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'method group',CS0021 " ...which to me made no sense.

I tried another VMA (jhlVMA from BMT) that also contained a VMA plot and compiles without a problem, without any code change except for indie name:

b1_VMA[0] = jhlVMA(BarsArray[1],iUseVMAPeriod,iUseVMAPeriodCMO).VMA[0];

Problem solved, but I am curious why this is with a default indicator?

Yes, all indicators would implement the IDataSeries interface, your snippet gave me no issues and I could pass any BarsArray into the VMA - which NT version would you use here?

Thanks,

Bertrand,

I am using RC1 ... I also tried renaming @VMA to jtVMA and the issue persists after compile. I tried on RC1 on a virtual machine and same issue.

Hi Jon,

Default indicator VMA has only one plot, so it's not necessary to specify the .VMA at the end.

double b1_VMA = VMA(BarsArray[1], iUseVMAPeriod, iUseVMAPeriodCMO)[0];
