That makes sense, but there are no inputs. The code for the indicator is attached.

Actually, you have the opposite problem in this case. Your indicator has no outputs, as all of your entities are declared as private, so you cannot access any output, including the indicator itself, from any other class.

Ok, I changed the following lines:

//added by MM - to allow patterns to be incorporated into strategy
public BoolSeries BearishEngulfingFound;
public BoolSeries BullishEngulfingFound;

Still no workie.

The indicator was already set to public.

publicclass CandleStickPatternAll : Indicator

A method can be exposed by simply declaring it public. A BoolSeries is an object: you have to expose it using a property definition.

Here is an example: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4991

Understood. Added the following code to the indicator:

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public BoolSeries bullishEngulfingFound
{
get { return BullishEngulfingFound; } // Allows our public BearIndication BoolSeries to access and expose our internal bearIndication BoolSeries
}

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public BoolSeries bearishEngulfingFound
{
get { return BearishEngulfingFound; } // Allows our public BullIndication BoolSeries to access and expose our internal bullIndication BoolSeries
}

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
publicdouble ExposedVariable
{
// We need to call the Update() method to ensure our exposed variable is in up-to-date.
get { Update(); return exposedVariable; }
}


And to the strategy:

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CandleStickPatternAll().BullishEngulfingFound[0])
EnterLong();
if (CandleStickPatternAll().BearishEngulfingFound[0])
EnterShort();
Print(CandleStickPatternAll().ExposedVariable);
}

Compile errors are in the strategy, at the above 3 lines. Can't figure out why.

I notice that in your Indicator code, you have no "using" directives. Do you have any in your Strategy code?

[McClellan]

I don't think I do, unless the strategy builder put them in automatically.

[McClellan]

Would this make a difference?

Here is what the using region looks like in the strategy:

#region Using declarations
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using NinjaTrader.Data;
using NinjaTrader.Indicator;
using NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart;
using NinjaTrader.Strategy;
#endregion

At this point, I think I will have to load up the files on my own machine, if I am to see what is happening, as I cannot see anything obviously defective. The matter does not seem to be any secret, so maybe you could just post the files that you are using, and let me see if I can nail the problem?

That would be great. Can I get some instructions on how to do that? I tried to "export ninjascript" and it says "You have files with programming errors. You must resolve these programming errors before you can export a ninjascript."

Do not export. You cannot export if any file(s) in your tree have errors. Just post the .cs files. They are what we are trying to correct.
