  I need some help and it is probably something easy too fix. I am coding an indicator that I want too call in a system and I cant get it too work. Now I have simplified it so that I can understand how it works before I build the the  indicator.

  The indicator is named DAXMF_indicator

  DAXMF_indicator

  c1 = close crosses over average[200] return c1 AS "c1"

  1 2	c1 = close crosses over average[200] return c1 AS "c1"

  And my system file looks like this:

  DAXMF_system

  CALL "DAXMF_indicator" IF c1 THEN BUY 1 Contract AT Market ENDIF SET TARGET pPROFIT 100 SET STOP pLOSS 50

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  CALL "DAXMF_indicator" IF c1 THEN BUY 1 Contract AT Market ENDIF SET TARGET pPROFIT 100 SET STOP   pLOSS   50

  When I backtest the system I get a message that c1 is “undefined”, can someone please help me.

  You have to give the value of the CALL to a variable:

  c1 = CALL "DAXMF_indicator"

  1	c1 = CALL "DAXMF_indicator"
