converting "set" for ninja 8

[Daniel008]

Hi
I am trying to begin the (lengthy) process of converting to Ninja8, and on one indicator i am down to the last couple of errors but have hit a wall... I have a similar issue with .Set .....In ninja7 i have

if(CurrentBar<tlength+1) return;
Havg = SMA(High,tlength)[1];
Lavg = SMA(Low,tlength)[1];
if(Input[0]<Lavg) swing = -1;
if(Input[0]>Havg) swing = 1;
if(swing==-1)
{
if(previous_swing!=swing) Draw.ArrowDown(this, CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Havg, Brushes.Gold);
S=Havg;
}
where Lavg is a double. I have tried using the following in Ninja8
S = Lavg;

but its saying that the "property or indexer .... cannot be assigned to - it is read only" and also "cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Series<string>'

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance....

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

Generally, Series<T> would need a BarsAgo value to be used, the .Set method did this for you in NT7.

If you are trying to set a value, it would likely look like the following:

S[0] = Lavg;

As I cannot see your whole script this would be a guess based on the error and what is available.
You currently have an error

"cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Series<string>'".

This tells me that you have created a String series but you are trying to set a double value to that series without a BarsAgo.

You would likely need to replace Series<string> with Series<double> if you wanted a double, or you would need to supply a String instead of a price to set the value.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse - I'll play around with it and, if need be, be back!
