int series for indicator gives compiler error

[westofpluto]

I have a custom indicator with two data series I want to make available. I only want to plot the default series (which I call "TrendMode") but I want my strategy (in another file) to be able to access the second series (which I call "PendingCount"

In my indicator file I declare the properties like this:

#region Properties

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public Series<int> PendingCount
{
    get { return Values[1]; }
}

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore]
public Series<double> TrendMode
{
    get { return Values[0]; }
}
#endregion

However, the PendingCount series gives me a compiler error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Series<double> ' to 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Series<int>'

I don't understand why it thinks this is Series<double> instead of Series<int>. How do I fix this?

Hello westofpluto,

Thank you for your post.

PendingCount is returning a Series<double> value because you are calling get { return Values[1]; } and Values[ ] holds an array of Series<double> objects associated with plots. In order to expose indicator values that are not plots, you could create a Series<int> variable that stores information followed by accessing and expose that variable in the PendingCount property.

Please review the SampleBoolSeries indicator example that demonstrates how to expose indicator values that are not plots - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...alues_that.htm

Also, here are help guide links for more information about Values [ ] and AddPlot.
