I'm trying to create a new indicator and having a little problem.
I keep getting these error messages at: Noise = SUM (Diff, Period)[0]; When I Print Diff or Period I can see them but when I want to add them up I get:
The best overloaded method match for 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.SUM(NinjaTrade r.NinjaScript.ISeries<double>, int)' has some invalid arguments
and
cannot convert from "double" to NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Series<double>
but when I put Close instead of Diff, then everything is fine.
So far I output everything and all variables print just fine till this point.
i appreciate any help.
here is the whole code which is not much...it's just the start.
