Strategy won't compile

[mattstraw69]

I am trying to create a very simple strategy using TSsupertrend indicator, but when I click "finish" in strategy builder, I get error saying that it can't compile. It opens editor and the errors at the bottom all say that TSsupertrend is a method and not appropriate for this action. Why? It's an indicator same as any other indicator, as far as I know. I have not had any problems using other indicators in strategy builder. Thanks.

Please provide a screenshot of the full error message when you compile in the NinjaScript Editor.

Hello mattstraw69,

Thank you for that information.

Please reach out to the vendor/developer of TSSuperTrend to report this error you are receiving. The error appears to be related to a namespace path; it could be related to the namespace path for a custom class in the TSSuperTrend script, or it could be that the indicator class has a class or enum inside of it that is being used as a parameter to the indicator method. This would mean that the fully qualified namespace would need to be used in the indicator method or a using statement might need to be added. Ultimately, this all comes down to the source code for TSSuperTrend which is why the vendor/developer needs to be involved to help identify and resolve the error.

We have a demonstration of declaring enums outside of the indicator class and using the fully qualified namespace path in the indicator property. This is best demonstrated in the NinjaTrader 8 reference sample, as the NinjaTrader 7 version doesn't properly implement a custom namespace:

Thank you for your time. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns.
