max of indicator

[jagtrading]

Hi guys

I'm trying to deteremine the max of the standard deviation for a given period over the same period. Below is my code:

double v1 = StdDev(stdevPeriod)[0];
double v2 = MAX(v1(), stdevPeriod)[0];

however i get the error 'v1 is a variable but is used like a method'.

If I don't use the parenthesis with v1 I get the other error 'invalid arguements' and 'cannot convert from double to dataseries'

could someone help me with this???

thank you for help.

jagtrading, welcome to our forums - the MAX method would expect a DataSeries to be passed in, not a double variable as in your case.

You can for example just pass the StdDev directly in, i.e.

MAX(StdDev(stdevPeriod), stdevPeriod)[0];
