Serialize error

[monpere]

I get the error 'Indicator could not be serialized' when I try to save to a template, a chart which contains one specific custom indicator. What does this mean? The indicator works fine, but seems like any chart containing it cannot be saved as a template. Where do I look for clues as to what might be the issue?

I would look to the indicator itself. I would look at the area where properties are defined as a start.

There are no properties defined in this indicator (maybe that itself might be the issue?). What other parts of your code could issue that error? Maybe that can help give me some direction as to what to focus on.

This error will not occur if you code along the lines of all other NT standard indicators only using documented NinjaScript properties and methods.

Unfortunately we don't know which sections of your custom code broke the logic. I suggest giving it a fresh start by a wizard generated template and adding your custom code step to step to see where it finally breaks.

You have probably fixed the problem by now, but for the record I had the same problem and found this.

I had defined a variable in the Ind1 code as an int and used it in a reference to another indicator, Ind2. Everything compiled just fine but it would not serialize when saving as a template. I found that the position in the reference to Ind2 where the int was used actually required a double by Ind2. I changed the variable in Ind1 from an int to a double and the problem was resolved.

I am having the same type of problem and have isolated it to the following statement in my Variables region:

public DataSeries dsCalcVolume;

using

private DataSeries dsCalcVolume;

works fine; however I would like another indicator to have access to this DataSeries...

?

Thanks!
