Help using pivots in a strategy

[raintree]

I’m hoping one of you experienced programmers can help me with this. I’m working with the indicator CMIPivotsDaily_V73 in a strategy and I’m trying to create a user input to substitute for R1, R2, etc. at the appropriate place in the code for an Exit condition, so that I can chose which pivot I want to target from the strategy dialog when I launch it. To a novice coder like me without formal training, it would seem straightforward to create a user defined string variable to use in the substitution, but when I try to compile my code for this I get the CS0117 error: “NinjaTrader.Indicator.CMIPivotsDaily_V73 does not contain a definition for ‘pivot Target’.

What do I need to do? Here are the relevant code bits:

#region Variables
privatestring pivotTarget = @"Pivot"; // Temorary default. Actual input choices: R3, R2, R1, PP, S1, S2, S3

// Condition set 2 for Long Exit
if (High[0] >= CMIPivotsDaily_V73(10, false, PlotAlignPD.Left, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, true, 15).“pivotTarget”[0])
{
ExitLong("ExitLongPivot", "EnterLong");
}

#region Properties
[Description("Choices: R3 R2 R1 PP S1 S2 S3")]
[Category("Parameters")]
publicstring PivotTarget
{
get { return pivotTarget; }
set { pivotTarget = value; }
}

That won't fly.

You could try using a switch instead. If your string says R2, then use a code branch that goes CMIPivotsDaily_V73(10, false, PlotAlignPD.Left, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, true, 15).R2[0].

I was hoping there'd be a short cut! But ok, good to know that. I'll use switch. Thanks, Josh.
