Purpose of the script is to draw a line of the opening range on the first 5 candles or 5min candle's high and low to mark the opening range.

Hello osmanigarces,

Thanks for your post.

The error message is being caused by the line of code below that you shared.

if (BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType != NinjaTrader.Cbi.BarsPeriodType.Minute || BarsPeriod.Value != 5)
{
.
}

To resolve the error message you need to remove NinjaTrader.Cbi from your condition as this is not the correct syntax to compare is the BarsPeriodType is not equal to BarsPeriodType.Minute.

After removing NinjaTrader.Cbi from the code you shared the condition should look something like this.

if (BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType != BarsPeriodType.Minute || BarsPeriod.Value != 5)
{

}

Hello osmanigarces,

Thanks for your notes.

It seems that you are missing a Using Statement in your script which would cause the error to persist.

Please add the Using Statement below to the "Using declarations" section of code in your script and run a compile to check if the error persists.

using NinjaTrader.Data;

Please let us know if we may assist further on this matter.

[osmanigarces]

Thanks alot!
