The type or namespace name 'ChartPattern' could not be found

[JakeOfSpades]

Hey everyone, trying to export a Strategy that uses the enum ChartPattern found in the CandlestickPattern Indicator class but when I go to export it I get an error :

The type or namespace name 'ChartPattern' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Here is my code :

 public class MLRegression : Strategy
{[INDENT]private ChartPattern candleBeforeEntry; // ERROR HERE[/INDENT][INDENT]protected override void OnStateChange()[/INDENT][INDENT]{ }[/INDENT]
 }

Hello JackOfSpades,

Thank you for your post.

This error message means that you would need to include the CandlestickPattern indicator in your script in order to have access to the CandlestickPattern enum ChartPattern. In your script, add the following code before or after the ChartPattern line. The code would look something like this:

public class MLRegression : Strategy
{
    private CandlestickPattern candleStickPattern;
    private ChartPattern candleBeforeEntry;

    protected override void OnStateChange() { }
}

After adding this line to your script and compiling it, you should be able to export the Strategy.

Please let us know if we may assist further.
