mate41,

The error that is showing up is located in the TrenDotMacd.cs file not the one you posted the code to. When the compile error shows as orange it means it's located in a different file than the one you're compiling. you can double click the error and it will open the file with the error and take you to the part of the code with the error. If you can't find the error, then post the code from that file and I or someone else I'm sure can help you.

Thanks for the reply VTtrader,
i recompiled without any change and the compile errors are no more orange; white only.
Double clickking the error conduct me to the line where the error occurs.
You can see a part of the code i've attached on my first post.
I think it has todo with these lines:

private int fast = 12; // Default setting for Fast
private int slow = 26; // Default setting for Slow
private int smooth = 1; // Default setting for Smooth
trMacd = new DataSeries(this);
trMacd.Set(MACD(Input, fast, slow, smooth)[0]);
Macd.Set(trMacd[0]);

Mate41,

Was the error the same, "The name 'Macd' does not exist in the current context "? it looks like you may have several issues going on.

Both "trMACD" and "Macd" are being used as DataSeries, they need to be declared in the variables region, and instantiated in the Inititialize() method.

In the variables you need:
private DataSeries trMacd;
private DataSeries Macd;

in the Initialize() method you will need:
trMacd = new DataSeries(this);
Macd = new DataSeries(this);

Both of those have to be in place first, then in OnBarUpdate() you can call the Set method:
trMacd.Set(MACD(Input, fast, slow, smooth)[0]);
Macd.Set(trMacd[0]);

Thanks for your time VTtrader,
it's SOLVED. Your post made me a light !!
I did it as follows:

In the variables i need:
private DataSeries trMacd; // was already done

In the 'initialize' i need:
trMacd = new DataSeries(this); // was already done

In the 'protected override void OnBarUpdate()' i need:
trMacd.Set(MACD(Input, fast, slow, smooth)[0]); // was already done
Macd.Set(trMacd[0]); // was already done too

And here comes the solution :
adding under 'Properties':

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries Macd
{
get { return Values[0]; }
}

If this can help someone.
