Average of CCI Indicator

[pjwinner]

I'm not a programmer so I'm trying to copy the NinjaScript tutorial for Indicator on Indicator except with an SMA on CCI instead of Vol. I'm using the Indicator Wizard.. I've used the code from the Strategy Wizard for the SMA of CCI. When I try to compile it I get three Errors: CS0018, CS1502 and CS1503. Here's the code

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

//Calculate average of CCI
double average = SMA(CCI(14), Period)[0];


Plot0.Set(average);
}

If anyone can point out whatever obvious or subtle mistakes I'm making, I would be grateful.

You can not use the word "Period" there as it is not defined as a variable.. You need a variable or a #.

double average = SMA(CCI(14), 12)[0];

What you more than likely need is to add a variable for "Period" in your parameter list.
(Where MyInput0 is declared in the indicator builder).

If you edit the SMA, Period is defined as a parameter in the #region area

#region Properties
/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Description("Numbers of bars used for calculations")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public int Period
{
get { return period; }
set { period = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
#endregion

Changing the "Period" to a number worked! I'll try adding Period as a variable. Thanks so much.
