CS0021 Cannot apply indexing with []......

Plagued by CS0021 Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'method group'

Snippet from the top of my code. The last 2 lines at the bottom in red before the //break\\ throw up the CS0021 error. The lines after the break in red throw up CS0021. Help please! :-)

Hello thatsfresh,

If you would like assistance with a compile error, please provide the full error message. Ctrl + c to copy the selected error, Ctrl + v to paste into your post.
Or provide a screenshot of the error with the Error column fully expanded with the affected line noted in the error visible in the NinjaScript Editor.
This should include the full error message as well as a line number.

The ADX adds a plot but does not explicitly add a public Series<double> ADX.

This means the ADX would be called without specifying ADX as property to use the default plot.

Change:
adx.ADX[0]

To
adx[0]

The VWAP may be a custom indicator you have imported as this does not appear to the the OrderFlowVWAP included with NinjaTrader.

You will want to check that this custom indicator explicitly declares a public Series<double> VWAP. Otherwise you will likely want to call this without specifying VWAP as a property to use the default plot.

Hi Chelsea

I am now able to compile. The lines in RED in my original post are the ones I was having issues with. Before and after below. Thanks for your help!!

** BEFORE **

Close[0] > vwap.VWAP[0] &&
adx.ADX[0] > adxThreshold &&


if (isLong && (Close[i] < ema9[i] || Close[i] < vwap.VWAP[i]))
return false;
if (!isLong && (Close[i] > ema9[i] || Close[i] > vwap.VWAP[i]))
return false;
}

** AFTER **

Close[0] < vwap[0] &&
adx[0] > adxThreshold &&


if (isLong && (Close[i] < ema9[i] || Close[i] < vwap[i]))
return false;
if (!isLong && (Close[i] > ema9[i] || Close[i] > vwap[i]))
return false;
}
