Does anyone know how to pass a variable unsing Enqueue??

for example:

double myprofit = 99.75;

myQ.Enqueue(myprofit);


This method does not work for some reason. I am looking for a FIFO structure I can use to store non-continuous data, and am open to other suggestions.

Do you receive any errors?

Have you initialized your queue beforehand:

 

Code

myQ = new Queue<double>();

Hey @gregid I had initialized the Queue beforehand. Actually I used the dictionary method you helped me with, but a Queue dictionary. I was able to pass a value directly into the queue, but when I tried to pass a variable, it would not work.

@Xav1029 I am afraid you will have to post a bit more of your queue/dictionary code (your declared queue, how it is initialized).

Also, are you saying you were able to do:
myQ.Enqueue(99.75);

or was your successful syntax different?

I deleted all the code and gave it another try, and it worked this time. I don't know what I had done wrong before, but had looked over the code 20 times and could not find anything wrong. Time to get some rest now, this project is going to take a while

Here is the code that worked:

 

Code

#region Variables double test = .9898; private Dictionary<int, DataSeries>indicatorD; //Used to store the indicator values private Dictionary<int, DataSeries>EPLd; //Used to store short term expected profit for long trades private Dictionary<int, DataSeries>EPSd; //Used to store short term expected profit for short trades private Dictionary<int, DataSeries>MFE_Ld; // private Dictionary<int, DataSeries>MAE_Ld; private Dictionary<int, DataSeries>MFE_Sd; private Dictionary<int, DataSeries>MAE_Sd; private Dictionary<int, Queue<double>>Qtest; #endregion protected override void Initialize() { Overlay = false; //-------------------Eight Data Series for the indicators------------------------------ indicatorD = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>(); //---------------------Twenty Four of the following----------------------------------- EPLd = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>(); EPSd = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>(); MFE_Ld = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>(); MAE_Ld = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>(); MFE_Sd = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>(); MAE_Sd = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>(); Qtest = new Dictionary<int, Queue<double>>(); } protected override void OnStartUp() { for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++) { indicatorD[i] = new DataSeries(this); } for (int i = 0; i < 24; i++) { EPLd[i] = new DataSeries(this); EPSd[i] = new DataSeries(this); MFE_Ld[i] = new DataSeries(this); MAE_Ld[i] = new DataSeries(this); MFE_Sd[i] = new DataSeries(this); MAE_Sd[i] = new DataSeries(this); } for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++) { Qtest[i] = new Queue<double>(); } } protected override void OnBarUpdate() { Qtest[0].Enqueue(test); //test+=1; Print(Qtest[0].Peek()); }

My previous try was an int Queue, and I could not pass CurrentBar to it or an int variable. Don't know why, but a fresh start worked

Glad fresh start worked for you - I do it all the time

Here is an indicator that has a routine by jabeztrading that uses enqueue to plot swings.
It is very effective and shows how to set it up.

I have used the routine in several custom indicators and it works well for me.

Thanks for the response. I am still building the foundation for the tool I am working on, and for some reason Peek is not returning the same values as Dequeue. Please see attatched file and what gets printed in the output window.

EDIT: Disregard this post. I had the beginning and end of the queue mixed up in my head. I thought the beginning was the last item added, but that is actually the end due to the FIFO structure that I am trying to achieve.
