Trying to load an licensed indicator in strategy.

[priceisking]

Hello,

I'm trying to load a licensed/protected indicator in my strategy.

It's a simple indicator nothing fancy. When I compile my strategy, I get :

"No overload for method 'myProtectedIndicator' takes 0 arguments."




My code has just the following:

private myProtectedIndicator v_procIndicator;


.
.
.
v_procIndicator = myProtectedIndicator().Close[0];


All I'm trying to do is load the indicator so that I can look for crosses and other values for now.

Do you have sample ?



I am already able to load simple EMA's and other built in indicators.

Hello priceisking,

The error is letting you know you are not using the correct overload parameters.

What are the overload parameters for this script?

Have you reached out to the vendor or author that distributes this script for assistance on how to call their script?


As an example, the EMA has an int Period as an overload parameter, and a second overload that accepts the input series.

EMA(int Period)
EMA(14)

There are no input parameters to specify for the indicator. Only parameters available are plot colors etc.. No period or anything.

Hello priceisking,

The error message seems to imply that there are parameters.
"No overload for method 'myProtectedIndicator' takes 0 arguments."

This error message means it is not able to use 0 parameters..

Are you 100% certain this script has no public properties?

Is this a script you have written or one you have imported?

If this was imported, did the original author tell you that this script has no public properties?

[priceisking]

It was something I had imported. I passed in the parameters after reaching out to the vendor.

(System.Windows.Media.Brushes.DodgerBlue,System.Wi ndows.Media.Brushes.Firebrick );


That did the trick. Thank you so much.
