The name 'CandelStickPattern' does not exist in the current context

[exnihilo]

I wanted to test the 'CandelStickPattern' class in an Indicator and a Strategy. I thought I would start out simple so I applied the code from the NT7 support docs:

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/?candlestickpattern.htm

I put this code in OBU()

if (CandelStickPattern(ChartPattern.BullishEngulfing, 4)[0] == 1) { Print("Hello BullishEngulfing CandleStick"); }

Now, my Indicator throws this error when I try and compile:

The name 'CandelStickPattern' does not exist in the current context.

Has this class been deprecated? Why is this error being thrown?

Thank You!

Hello exnihilo,

Thank you for writing in.

The error results because “Candel” should be “Candle” in CandleStickPattern” statement of the HelpGuide. The error has been reported and unfortunately there is no way to change. This has been corrected in NT8.

The correct statement should be,

if (CandleStickPattern(ChartPattern.BullishEngulfing, 4)[0] == 1)

Not,

if (CandelStickPattern(ChartPattern.BullishEngulfing, 4)[0] == 1)

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
