BarsArray Question

[rcsingleton]

Hello.

I'm using a custom Datatype in a multi time frame indicator. The datatype is called BWTPrecisionRenko

There are two parameters, as input. to this datatype: The "bricksize" and the "reversal percentage"

On the primary bar object the following statement compiles cleanly.

_rcsFT_p = FeltonTrigger(100000,"dummy");

On the secondary bar object the following statement throws errors.

_rcsFT_s = FeltonTrigger(BarsArray[1].Period.Value2=125,100000,"dummy")

The developer says the above syntax is required to define the "reversal percentage" on the custom datatype.

The error messages indicate that the indicator, Felton Trigger, is "seeing" BarsArray as a parameter value.

If I code the following, it compiles cleanly.

_rcsFT_s = FeltonTrigger(BarsArray[1],100000,"dummy")

So the problem is definitely the "..Period.Value2=125".

Does that syntax look correct?

I'm including my code and the following two error messages.

The best overloaded method match for 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.Indicator.FeltonTrigger(Nin jaTrader.Data.IDataSeries, int, string)' has some invalid arguments

Argument '1': cannot convert from 'int' to 'NinjaTrader.Data.IDataSeries'

I've never seen such syntax, but it looks like you are assigning 125 to value2 which is also being passed in at the same time?

But it looks like the compiler is correct in this case. You ARE trying to pass an INT as an iDataSeries.

Try doing the blahblah.Value2=125 before the FeltonTrigger line, then doing like you have in the commented section?

Sledge, thanks for your reply.

//Secondary Felton Trigger Object
BarsArray[1].Period.Value2=125;
_rcsFT_s = FeltonTrigger(BarsArray[1],100000,"dummy");

The above is compiling cleanly.

I'll try this out tomorrow, and let you know.
