Thread: Compiler error - does not recognise OrderCreateParams

Hi

I've just started using Strategy trader. But it is clear to me something is not right here. The following error messages occur when I copied the Medium difficult EA example from the help file in this forum. When I compile errors come up which indicates it does not recognise the ordercreate command. At first I thought it must have been an error in the example. But the same thing happens when I try to compile one of the sample EA (MACDcross) that came with the software. Any ideas?

Here is the list of errors:
The type or namespace name 'OrderCreateParams' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) "test2" [Strategy] Ln 91
The best overloaded method match for 'Broker.StrategyLanguage.IOrdersFactory.CreateLimit(Broker.StrategyLanguage.OrdersCreateParams)' has some invalid arguments "test2" [Strategy] Ln 91
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'OrderCreateParams' to 'Broker.StrategyLanguage.OrdersCreateParams' "test2" [Strategy] Ln 91
The type or namespace name 'OrderCreateParams' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) "test2" [Strategy] Ln 95

OK I know what's happened. There are some serious errors in the example in the new help file. I found this out by typing the command and looking at the drop down menu of usable syntax.

"OrderCreateParams" which is in the buy/sell code should be "OrdersCreateParams". This is why the instruction was not recognised. There are also a number of other significant errors I found, like "IOrdersFactory" is used in the buy signal. This should only be used in the parameter setup. "OrdersFactory" is the command to place an order.

Hi rickster,

Thanks for the information. We'll be releasing a new help file soon.

I thought I had a new help file (just installed), but still the same compiler errors...All over the places.

Hi laszlonadai,

Thanks for posting.

Is possible to post your code? we'll try to replicate the compiler errors that you get.

Best Regards,
Carl
