Okay, this doesn't make sense, sometimes it works, other times I keep getting this error.
Here's the FULL Code.
As you can see I'm trying to to get the indicator to know which Chart it's on so it knows which FUTURES contract to use. I typed Conditional statements in the void Initialize() area, I don't know if that causes problems.
Can someone please help fix this error.

Can someone please help fix this error.
You will have to make some kind of arrangement to make sure that you are referencing existing contracts. One way might be to reverse your logic, and run on the 6J contract, calling $USDJPY, as the latter is an invariant string. Other ways would be more complex, as you would have to determine the date, so that you can use the correct contract.
