Cannot convert a returning list from Indicator in Strategy

[kuchen]

Hi !
I am struggling with the following problem:

An indicator-method is returning a List of a locally defined structure.
That works well inside the indicator.

When calling the same from a strategy, which has exactly the same locally defined structure, it fails saying it cannot convert from one list to another.

Can you, please, advise what the reason may be for this?
Does the complier not allow this (IEnumeral casting required?)?
How to do this best alternatively, if strategy and indicator shall use the same list & structure definitions?

Hope the description makes sense.
Thank you for your support !
Matthias


Strategy:
public struct CalcResultStruc {
public double lv_myAdditionalTime1_sma;
public int lv_Total_Points; };


private List<CalcResultStruc> mycalcResultList = new List<CalcResultStruc>();

// Calling indicator method
mycalcResultList = my_ACH.Calculate_ACH(mycalcResultList);



Indicator:

public struct CalcResultStruc {
public double lv_myAdditionalTime1_sma;
public int lv_Total_Points; };


// local method
private List<CalcResultStruc> Calculate_ACH(List<CalcResultStruc> calcResultList) {

// do something

return calcResultList;

Hello Matthias,

Thank you for your note.

Within your indicator, you set your list to private, which you are trying to call from your strategy.
Changing,

private List<CalcResultStruc> Calculate_ACH(List<CalcResultStruc> calcResultList)

to,

public List<CalcResultStruc> Calculate_ACH(List<CalcResultStruc> calcResultList)

You should be able to call the list from the strategy.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi Alan. I changed it to public, error remains. The list is coming back via return in a method, so I dont try to access the list directly from the strategy.
I do pass the last into the indicator method, have it modified there and return it to the strategy.

Am I calling it in a wrong way?
When adding the indicator with Add(myIndicator) , then I can access the methods therein with myIndicator().myMethod();
This is in order I assume?
When adding the indicator with Add(), immediately the method 'initialize' of the indicator is executed I assume? And every time there is a bar update on the strategies data series, the barupdate on the indicator is executed, too?

Hello Matthias,

Without the code I'm unable to test on my end.

Please send an email to [email protected] with Attn: Alan P in the Subject line. Also within the email please include a link to this thread, as well as the indicator and strategy.

I look forward to receiving the files.
