Error code CS0103: The name 'Draw' does not exist in the current context

[ma10trader]

Hello team,

I am trying to create my first indicator. During compilation I get the error below:

CandlePatternDetector.cs	The name 'Draw' does not exist in the current context	CS0103	48	17

Here is my code below. Would you please check and assist to fix it :

region Using declarations

using System;

using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies;

using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators;

using System.Windows.Media; // Added for Brushes




#endregion




// Ensure the namespace matches your project's structure

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators

{

public class CandlePatternDetector : Indicator

{

protected override void OnStateChange()

{

if (State == State.SetDefaults)

{

Description = @"Detects specified candle patterns in various time frames.";

Name = "CandlePatternDetector";

Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;

IsOverlay = true;

DisplayInDataBox = true;

DrawOnPricePanel = true;

DrawHorizontalGridLines = true;

DrawVerticalGridLines = true;

PaintPriceMarkers = true;

ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;

IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true;

}

}




protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{

// Ensure we have enough bars for the pattern detection

if (CurrentBar < 1) return;




// Example: Detecting a specific candle pattern

double body = Math.Abs(Close[0] - Open[0]);

double upperWick = High[0] - Math.Max(Open[0], Close[0]);

double lowerWick = Math.Min(Open[0], Close[0]) - Low[0];




double bodyThreshold = TickSize * 5;

double wickThreshold = TickSize * 10;




if (body <= bodyThreshold && upperWick >= wickThreshold && lowerWick <= bodyThreshold)

{

// Ensure to call the Draw method correctly

Draw.Dot(this, "upperWickSignal" + CurrentBar, false, 0, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, Brushes.DodgerBlue);

}

}

}

}

Welcome to the forums!

Try adding this,

using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools;

to the top of your script.

Hello ma10trader,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Forums!

You could be missing the using statement from your script which could cause this error.

As bltdavid noted, please add using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools; to the 'Using declarations' section of your script and then run a compile to check if the error persists.

Please let us know if this does not resolve the error.
