Using PriorDayOHLC() and getting error

[ronb107]

I am new to NinjaScript and need a little help

I need to access the prior day's Close (at 16:15 ET for the e-mini) from within a 30-minute bar chart. I believe the easiest way to do this is with PrioDayOHLC().

I've tried to implement this with the following...

#region Variables
private double priorDayClose = PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0];
#endregion

However, the compiler throws the following error...
"Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'NinjaTrader.Data.DataSeries'"

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Without testing anything

Declare only your variable:

private double priorDayClose	;

and in OnBarUpdate()

priorDayClose	= PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0];

But then you should run into indexing problems and new errors. (5>4)

edit:

Or move everything to OnBarUPdate as in the documentation

Ok, that did it! Thanks

Now I have an issue with...
DrawTextFixed("text",txtChart,TextPosition.TopLeft , Color.Red, new Font("Arial", 14));

The compiler spits out...
"No overload for method 'DrawTextFixed" takes '5' arguments"

Looks like an Error. You need 8!?
