cannot convert from 'ISeries<double>' to 'float'

[NjTMatthew]

All of a sudden I am getting this error when I try to compile an indicator that I have been using for months. I changed nothing in the code, and this only started coming up when I made a slight adjustment to another custom indicator I had written.

The code it seems to be complaining about is:

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {                
                double myDouble     = 2.5;
                float myFloat       = (float)myDouble;
                myIndicator1        = myIndicator(Close, myFloat);
            }​

myIndicator is the other indicator that I made a slight edit to, but I didn't change much. I just added a separate variable to allow the upper and lower plots of the indicator to be set with different offsets. They're both floats, and I used the same syntax for both.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hello NjTMatthew,

Thank you for your post.

What is the full error and the exact line of code referenced in the error? Please post a screenshot along with the line of code the error is referencing.

Where is myIndicator1 defined?

The specific line the error refers to is the one that calls the other indicator:

myIndicator1     = myIndicator(Close, myFloat);

The external indicator is prescribed as follows:

public class myNewIndicator : Indicator
{
     private myIndicator myIndicator1;

The error says, "Argument 1: cannot convert from 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.ISeries<double> To 'float'"

I'm starting to feel like it does have something to do with the addition of that second variable in the referenced indicator. It's as if I now have to pass it two variables, and I've only re-cast and am passing one.

Hello NjTMatthew,

Thank you for your response. The indicator looks defined correctly.

It may be that you're passing in the wrong parameters to the indicator call (passing in a Series when the indicator is expecting a float).

To test, if you pass in myFloat for both arguments are you still getting the same error?

i.e.

myIndicator1 = myIndicator(myFloat, myFloat);
