Cant load custom intdicator into strategy

[marty087]

Hi,
I have been trying for hours to read a data series of a custom indicator that I have built from a strategy but keep getting the following error

'NinjaTrader.Indicator.AATEST2' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'

Please see attached screenshot

I have removed all definable parameters from the properties section to make things more simple, hence the reson there is no parameters than need to defined....

I have also followed the following instructions from the thread below for adding / making the data series public etcbut when trying to call the data series like this Print(AATEST().MyDataSeries[0]); I just get the same error message as above..

Can anyone suggest why?

Thanks


UPDATE

I have attached watered down version of the indicator named "indi" which has all the working components removed but still cant be accessed from a strategy. Same error message as above appears....

Hello marty087,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, I cannot add the indicator in my own custom strategy as well. I cannot determine the cause of this unexpected behavior. However, it would be recommended to reduce the code further and remove any custom methods and functions.

UPDATE - The problem was the fact that I deleted the NinjaScipt auto generated code.... I did this to see if it would auto generate again as it was missing a bunch of Vars...but then forgot!



Hi Patrick, Thank you for having a look.

I think I have removed just about all the functios / methods that NinjaTrades doesnt support.. whats left in the code is pretty straight forward I think.

Can you tell me if the problem might be that this indicator calls the ZigZag indicator to gets the swing points? In other words, is it possible for an indicator ro be read from a strategy if that indicator calls an indicator itself?

Cheers.
