Errors trying to initialize 3 indicators

[nunu1919]

I have been putting together a strategy based off of a trading strategy I use daily. I have gotten rid of all compiling errors except for three. It is the same error for 3 different indicators I am trying to initialize in the "OnStateChange()" and "State.DataLoaded" state.

The error I am getting is "Non-Invocable member 'EMA' cannot be used like a method". I am getting it for 2 other indicators as well.

This is the code I am using:


else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
ema = EMA(EmaPeriod);
adx = ADX(AdxPeriod);
alligator = WisemanAlligator(Close);
}


Can anybody help me resolve these compiling errors?

Hello nunu1919,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

More information is needed.

May we see where the variables are being declared?

Or can you attach the .cs file for the script from Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies?

This is where I declare my variables:


This is where I initialize them and where the errors are coming from:


And these are the errors:

Hello nunu1919,

Be sure you are creating scripts with the NinjaScript Editor so these have the correct default structure.

Change the inheritance from StrategyBase to Strategy on line 14.

Let me know if that does not correct the error.

That is how I had it at first, but that presents a slew of other compiling errors including that the type of namespace name 'Strategy' does not exist in the namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript

Hello nunu1919,

Try creating a new strategy from the NinjaScript Editor.

Then copy the variables and logic into the new script's OnStateChange() and OnBarUpdate().

Okay, I got it working. I created a new strategy as you suggested and just used the generic template to add my coding into.

Turns out that what I was missing was the following:



I didn't have that line 26 in there and my line 28 was written wrong.

Thank you for your assistance!
