Operands of Method group issue

[Aussiemike]

Hi,

I've created an indicator to show volume spikes. It's not happy about something. I've tried them as integers, but still no joy. There is something i'm missing. Still knew to coding.

Cheers

Correction in red. VOLMA(14) is a DataSeries: you want a specific indexed value, which returns a double. You cannot multiply the DataSeries, or run a comparison on it.

Thanks again...

Though for sure that would be it, but it's still showing errors.

if (VolType == false)
{
if (VOL[0] > (volRatio*(VOLMA(14)[0])))
{
HighVol.Set(Close[0]);
}
}
if (VolType == true)
{
if (VOL >= volLevel)
{
HighVol.Set(Close[0]);
}

This is for VOLMA error
Indicator\HighVolAlert.cs Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'method group' CS0021 - click for info 49 8 volLevel

This is for volLevel error
Indicator\HighVolAlert.cs Operator '>=' cannot be applied to operands of type 'method group' and 'double' CS0019 - click for info 56 8

Would this compile well for you?

if (VolType == false)
{
if (VOL()[0] > (volRatio * (VOLMA(14)[0])))
{
HighVol.Set(Close[0]);
}
}
if (VolType == true)
{
if (VOL()[0] >= volLevel)
{
HighVol.Set(Close[0]);
}

[Aussiemike]

Yes thanks.

I remember a friend telling me some things needed these open/close brackets even if no argument.

Indicator working well

Cheers.
