AddChartIndicator

I get an error when I tried to use the AddChartIndicator()

I followed the method described in:

please see the attached picture...If I comment out the line 65, it compiles without error

Hello Mangaldoiya,

Thanks for your post.

AddChartIndicator() method is only available for strategies and this is why in the indicator you are getting the error message that AddChartIndicator does not exist in the current context (indicator).

To accomplish your goal of plotting the SMA(200) in your indicator, you would need to add another plot using AddPlot() in the indicator.

You would also need to create the output for the plot in #Region Properties.

In the OnBarUpdate() you would need to assign the SMA(200)[0] value to the plot.
