Use of indicator in strategy

[guilhem]

Hello,

I hope you had a great weekend :-)

I am facing a very strange situation...

I have created an indicator.
I use this indicator to create another indicator
Basically, I do the following in my new indicator

private MyIndicator mi1;

And then I use it

NewIndicator[0] = mi1[0];

This works fine...

But if i try to do the same in a strategy, instiating a my newindicator won t work and i will get a message CS0118 stating blabla is a 'method' but is used like a 'Type'

The line where it stops is the one where I declare in the properties the new indicator

private NewIndicator ni1;

This is actually since in one of the sample (SampleMultiInstrument) provided with the software, you are using 1 RSI and 2 ADX in this exact same way and the compilation is just doing fine.

could it be because my indicator is calling another indicator ?

best

Hello guilhem,

NewIndicator doesn't exist in the context you have provided.

Try:

mi1 = MyIndicator();

Print(mi1[0]);

Hello guilhem,
Can you confirm if your new indicator is in default folder or you made a sub folder, if so you need to specify full folder path along with indicator name while initializing. Hope it helps!

i did a new folder indeed hence my reply to the other post :-)
