Compile issue

[Dasweb]

So, I'm trying to build my first strategy just to test out the wizard, but it's not compiling.

It seems that I have everything correct, but it's throwing a few errors, one of which isn't in the help database.

The compile error is coming from a different strategy "STrat.cs". Double click on the compile error and it will open that strategy and take you to the error. You have called the RSI indicator incorrectly in that file.

Let me know if you need more help.

That's odd... I never created a strategy called STrat.

Edit:

Also, how would I go about using decimals? Say, I want to use 0.8, I know INT doesn't allow that.

I suppose I should say, you have a file called STrat.cs. When the compiler shows an error in orange, it means the error is in a different file. The double click will open that file and take you to the error.

Use decimals in what way?

Well for example, if the PPO were to cross under -0.2

[VTtrader]

A decimal number is a "double" value, and can be used where a "double" type is called for.

So you can do that by using the CrossBelow or CrossAbove functions.

Something like:
CrossBelow(PPO(12, 26, 9), -.2, lookBackPeriod);
lookBackPeriod being the number of bars back to check for the cross condition.

Sounds great, thanks!
