Hi all,

Iam trying to code a basic strategy (atm only Buy Signal) based on a custom indicator. When I try to compile the strategy it shows me an error "invalid data type".

m_coeff = Period / 100; the equal sign creates an error.

Could someone help me here?

Thanks in advance!

FutureTrader112,

it might make sense for you to post the entire code as from the code snippet it is not clear why you would receive the error message.

Thanks for your quick reply.



//VARIABLES
//-----------------------------------------------

Input:
Value((C+H+L)/3),
Period(1),
Filter#1_Velocity#2(1);

Vars:
Filter((C+H+L)/3),
Velocity(0),
m_coeff(0),
m_period(0),
_error(0),
_distance(0),


//End VARIABLES----------------------------------



//CALCULATION
//-----------------------------------------------

m_coeff = Period / 100;
m_period = SquareRoot(m_coeff);

_distance = Value - Filter[1];
_error = Filter[1] + _distance * m_period ;
Velocity = Velocity[1] + _distance * m_coeff ;
Filter = _error + Velocity;

//End CALCULATION--------------------------------


Cheers,

FutureTrader112,

your code misses the semicolon at the end of the variable declaration.
