Indicator Help Needed

Recommended Posts

Hi, Everyone!

 

This is the indicator that calculates the difference between Ask prices of two contracts.

Here is the code:

 

#indicator "TestAsk", "Imported"

inputs: Ask1(InsideAsk of Data1), Ask2(InsideAsk of Data2);

vars: diff(0);

diff = Ask1 - Ask2;

Plot1(diff);

 

The indicator successfully compiles in OEC platform.

I tried to place this indicator on the chart of two overlaying instruments, for example "6EZ0" and "6EH1" and I've got this error message:

 

Timestamp 14:37:46.296;

Text Unknown name: insideaskData(Of(1), insideask);

Sender TestAsk(6EZ0, Data(Of(2), insideask), Data(Of(1), insideask));

Chart 6EZ0: 5 min

 

Can anyone help me explain what is wrong.

 

Thanks!

I rewrote the code..:

 

#indicator "TestAsk", "Imported"

 

vars: diff(0), Ask1(0), Ask2(0);

Ask1 = InsideAsk of Data1;

Ask2 = InsideAsk of Data2;

diff = Ask1 - Ask2;

Plot1(diff);

 

...and it started to work.
