ADXVMA error

[eberline]

Hi,

I am working on developing an ADXVMA strategy. I am using code from the ADXVMA to create the strategy. The following code throws an error, can you tell me why?

Add(new Plot(Color.Gray, PlotStyle.Line, "ADXVMA"));

It is throwing the following error:

The best overloaded method match for 'NinjaTrader.Strategy.StrategyBase.Add(NinjaTrader .Indicator.IndicatorBase)' has some invalid arguments
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Plot' to 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.IndicatorBase'

Thank You.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

To answer your question, this error specifically deals with Strategies.

In an Indicator, you can use Add() to add Plots, Indicators, or DataSeries.

In a Strategy, you can use Add() to add Indicators, or DataSeries but not a Plot.

The error you are getting is because you are adding a plot to a strategy which will not work.

If you are trying to plot from a strategy, you can either add a Indicator that does the plotting based on your calculations in that indicator, or you can view this example :

I look forward to being of further assistance.
