Input parameter

[snoppss]

Hi,
For once I am not asking really for help, I want simply to notice that a blank indicator with a single parameter Input can't compile. I will be happy if it is fixed in future versions,

Thank you,
R.E.

Hello R.E.,

Thank you for your note. It is no problem asking for help on the forums, that is why we have them! Could you please send me the code for your indicator that will not compile so I can further investigate?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
here is the code causing the problem.
I also noticed many errors by the compiler that occurs because of an other error. For example, I compile the code with this problem. The first error the compiler shows me is not about the input doublon but about using Print in the Strategy base.... The line where I use the print is commented so it makes no sense for me. There is many examples of issues like this.

Thank you in advance,
R.E.

Hello R.E.,

Thank you for sending your indicator. The issue with the code you sent me is that "Input" is a reserved name in NinjaScript. You cannot use it because it conflicts with another variable named Input which is hard coded into the program. Please rename your parameter to something else and the code will compile successfully. If you are doing this through code, your code would look something like this:

    public class dd : Indicator
    {
        #region Variables
        // Wizard generated variables
            private int newInput = 1; // Default setting for Input
        // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
        #endregion

        /// <summary>
        /// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
            Overlay				= false;
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
            Plot0.Set(Close[0]);
        }

        #region Properties
        [Browsable(false)]	// this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
        [XmlIgnore()]		// this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
        public DataSeries Plot0
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }

        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public int NewInput
        {
            get { return newInput; }
            set { newInput = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }
        #endregion
    }

Please let me know if you have any questions.
