any thoughts/suggestions will be appreciated.

It might help if you showed your actual code, so that we might be able to quide you as to what is not properly coded?

below is a copy of the code.
the statement about halfway down 'hAOname=open;' (at the blue 'confused' icon)
is the issue. it is line 50. the following two error messages are generated, both for line 50.
'the type of namespace name "dbl" could not be found'
'the name "open" does not exist in the current context

I got a message 'The text that you have entered is too long (36529 characters). Please shorten it to 10000 characters long.' .... so the shortened version is below'
#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private double hAOname = 0.015; // Default setting for HAOname

// User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
#endregion
///<summary>

{
hAOname=open;
}

// end my stuff //////////////////////////////////

Please try with hAOname = Open[0];

NinjaScript as C# is case sensitive and you want to access a double value of your Open series value, so an index needs to be applied (in the [ brackets ]).

solved....many thanks

you nailed Bertrand,

after considerable false starts, your fixes + a couple other resolved issues resulted in a clean compile.

many thanks

correction to last reply

that should have been "you nailed it Bertrand" not "you nailed Bertrand"
