You're welcome, mate. I see on the NT Forum that one of the CS techs has weighed-in.

 

Hopefully a user code guru will give you some help...either there or here.

 

Cheers!

 

Mick

 

By the way...what does the error code show when you try to compile...that screenshot of the error listing may motivate a code guru to jump in and assist (here and over there).

Thanks Mick,

 

I was trying to adjust the code from a gartley indicator but my force is **** when it comes to coding...no error when compiling it just wont plot the patterns when they show.

 

I see you are in the isle of man, in jersey myself. Do you know of any trading rooms, arcades in the islands?

tryitagainmf, you can insert the code below line # 37 or anywhere as long as it is not inside another block of code. From the looks of the code, the missing 'GartleyButterflyPatternType' code is probably not an enum but a class that returns two properties.

 

When I created 'GartleyButterflyPatternType' as an enum, line 129, 130, 140, 141 failed because it is expecting an INT and not an enum. So what I'm thinking is 'GartleyButterflyPatternType' is probably provided by anothing indicator.
