the name b does not exist in the current context?

[james377]

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if ((EMA(14)[1] > EMA(14)[0]) && (Open[0] >= Close[1]) && IsReverseBarUp(b, 3.0) == true);
{
}
}

Hello, I have this method which wont compile because it says b does not exist in the current context?

even though i have specified what it is in another part of the code?

public static bool IsReverseBarUp(Bar b, double bodyFullRatio)

see?

Can anybody help me here?

Best Regards,

James

Will this do better?

public static bool IsReverseBarUp(Bars b, double bodyFullRatio)

The issue is not this line, the issue is it does not recognise b (highlighted in red in the code) as anything.

thanks for your reply, add me on chat [email protected] to talk

james377, that is because you haven't declared b as a bar, which would be necessary in order for the script to compile. What you have so far is a method that takes b in as input, but like I said b is never declared anywhere. Once you have it declared, you'd have to set it as well.

james377,

Let us take a step back. "Bars" is a reserved word and you can't "create" bars on your own. What exactly are you trying to pass in? Usually the correct type would be a DataSeries object instead of declaring things as Bars.

Perhaps Bar[b] is what you are trying for try BarsAgo[b], [0] being the current bar.
