Error with defval, type & nATRMultip values

805 views Asked by At

I am getting an error with the nATRPeriod type=float option Type mismatch at argument 'defval': expected const string, but got literal float; Type mismatch at argument 'type': expected const string, but got type_error;

Unknown argument 'minval' of type 'literal float';Undeclared identifier 'nATRMultip'; Value with NA type cannot be assigned to a variable that was defined without type keyword. Please help!

You had one error in line 60. There was nothing in common with what was described in your question.
