Using a DataSeries from an indicator as a double from a strategy?

[marty087]

Hi,

So if I have a dataseries in an indicator and want to access that from a strategy I have noticied that conversion isnt allowed to a double, despite the dataseries containing doubles...

eg if I want to define a new double in a strategy and then assign it using a dataseries imported from an indicator I get the "cannot convert dataseries to double" error during compilation.

How do I do it?

Cheers.

marty087, could you please post a sample call that would give you the cannot convert issue? Sounds like you would just need to make sure to access a specific index value of that series to assign to the double then.

Sorry to waste your time. For some reason its working fine now.

I dont know what was going on before. Maybe I didnt reference the bar id....

Thanks Bertrand.
