strategy + zigzag copy = input not available + error cexporting

[Amedeus]

hi everyone,

I have trouble with an indicator : I cannot call it as I wish from a strategy.
I gladly would have made a sample of the issue, but I was not able to export the sample strategy, so let me put it in a few words :

I made a copy of the zigzag,
I want to call it from a strategy, but there is no input in the indicator parameters (within the parenthesis, from the strategy)... so I can't apply the indicator on a series<double> like the macd as the input... it only applies on price series...

in the editor, when the cursor is on the name of the indicator :
- in the indicator script, it shows the input in the parenthesis, before deviationType and so on.,
- in the strategy script , there is no input series in the parenthesis, they just start with deviationType.

when I tried to export all those 2 sample scripts to make it simple for the reader, we get an error "the type or namespace name'deviation type' could not be found" (cs0246 )

I assume both issues might be related, can anyone let me know what I should try to make this functional ?
is there a using devclaration needed to have the deviation type be found ?

edit :
we cannot export both strategy or indicator.
but the strategy can be exported when we comment the declaration line of the indicator.

hey,

attached are some sceenshot of the scripts.

the zigzag has had no changes but the yellow marked lines.

the indic3 picture illustrates my issue : the underlined method is what is available from the strategy, but I wish there was an input parameter to fill here.

Hello Amedeus,

The ZigZag has an enum named DeviationType.

May I confirm you have changed this name of the enum in the copy and that you are referencing that new name in the code?

[Amedeus]

hey Chelsea, thank you very much,

Spot on, indeed I touched the public enum : I forgot to mention I did not just rename the public enum, I deleted it, since it was not inside the ZigZag.
But there is no second deviation type enum I would have created.
I assumed this one could be used in another script since it is not from inside the ZigZag.

Hello Amedeus,

Are you exporting the original ZigZag with your export to make sure that enum is included?

[Amedeus]

hey Chelsea, thank you,

I just declared the ZigZag in the copy indicator, then could export.
got it.

It also made the input parameter form the strategy available.

Thank you very much again. have a great day.
