Hi guys,

I get this error message when I use the following code could anyone help:
I've tried debugging and haven't gotten anywhere.

Thank you in advance and go easy on me .

    public class ATRbands : Indicator

Hello jagtrading,

Thank you for your post.

Is there a difference of operating this script if you have 'chandemode' set to true or false?

When you run this script with it set to true do you get the Print() for atr_len?

ok I've changed my code a bit here since there were some errors but I'm still getting the same problem. I've made some changes to onbarupdate. Both true and false "iATR" returns values but than crashes.

 
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
            double highest_val = Math.Max(Math.Max(lookback_or_period, ATRdev) , Math.Max(maximumLength,minimumLength));
            
            if (CurrentBar < (int) highest_val)
            {
                return;
            }
            
            double iATR;
            
            if (chandemode == true)
            {
                iATR = ChandeATR(Close, maximumLength, minimumLength,lookback_or_period)[0];
            }
            else 
            {
                iATR = ATR(lookback_or_period)[0];
            }
            
            Print(iATR);
            Print(Close[0] + (iATR * ATRdev));
            Print(Close[0] - (iATR * ATRdev));
        
            
            Upperline.Set(Close[0] + (iATR * ATRdev));
            Lowerline.Set(Close[0] - (iATR * ATRdev));
        }
