Complie error when exporting

[Shai Samuel]

Hi,

While trying to export a source of my Indicator, I received the following message:

Error compiling export sources. Please check your logs.

The indicator is working fine on a chart, smoothly complied and functioning well. When checking the log I see the following error:

Error compiling export sources: c:\Users\shai\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator\bdtPowerPriceAction.cs(1273 ,30) : error CS1061: 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.Indicator' does not contain a definition for 'MAX' and no extension method 'MAX' accepting a first argument of type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.Indicator' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Here is the relevant code, identify is the problem:

public class iSegment: Indicator
{
			public iSegment(Indicator parent, string name)
			{
	            this.parent = parent;
				iGenericName = name;
				iName = iGenericName;
				iComplete = true;
			}

}

public class PriceAction: iSegment
{
			public PriceAction(Indicator parent, string brakeName)
				:base(parent, brakeName) {}


  protected override void OnBarUpdate() 
  {
   ...

  if (bDir > 0)
    {
	if (parent.Close[iLast] > parent.Open[iLast])
		parent.DrawTriangleDown(aName+".ExitTriangle", true, iLast, pExitPrice, tradeResultColor);
	else
		parent.DrawTriangleUp(aName+".ExitTriangle", true, iLast, pExitPrice, tradeResultColor);
	yPos = Math.Min(parent.MIN(textOffsetX + textOffsetXspace)[0], (sDir < 0 ? pPrimaryLine : pSecondaryLine)) - textOffsetY;
	parent.DrawLine(iName+".ExitGuide", true, iLast, pExitPrice, iLast + textOffsetX, yPos, tradeResultColor, DashStyle.Dash, 1);
	text = parent.DrawText(aName+".ExitText", true, resultText, iLast+textOffsetX, 
						yPos, 0, textColor, textFont, textAlign, tradeResultColor, tradeResultColor, textBgOpacity);
	text.Locked = false;
     ...

    }
  }
}

Hi Shai, please add the MAX system indicator method manually to your exported file contents and you should be good then.

You are magician Bertrand, you saved me. It fixed it !

Maybe you should add a note in the help, so explain this...

You are welcome - it's noted here in our helpguide, I should have included that firstplace in my reply -

Thanks, I see it now. I didn't check, since it was under the ".NET Referencing", which I didn't expect to be relevant.
