+
+This third file confirms a recurrence of CS0246 compiler errors in VWAP_Pro.cs, specifically related to undefined types like ModeType and AnchorModeType.
+
+🔍 CS0246 - "The type or namespace name 'X' could not be found"
+Line	Column	Missing Type
+371	28	ModeType
+371	43	AnchorModeType
+391	39	ModeType
+391	54	AnchorModeType
+376	51	ModeType
+✅ How to Fix It
+🔧 1. Define Missing Enums (Recommended Fix)
+
+It seems that ModeType and AnchorModeType are custom enums that were expected to exist in the code but were never declared.
+
+Create a separate file or include this in the same VWAP_Pro.cs file near the top:
+
+public enum ModeType
+{
+    Standard,
+    Aggressive,
+    Conservative
+}
+
+public enum AnchorModeType
+{
+    SessionStart,
+    FixedTime,
+    Custom
+}
+
+
+You’ll need to customize the enum values (Standard, Aggressive, etc.) to match your strategy logic. These names are placeholders based on typical VWAP settings.
+
+🔧 2. OR Add Missing using Directives
+
+If these types exist in another NinjaTrader script or add-on you've imported before, ensure you include the right namespace:
+
+using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns.MyVWAPEnums; // Example
+
+
+But since these errors suggest the types are completely undefined, it's much more likely they are simply not declared anywhere.
+
+🔧 3. Verify File Inclusion in NinjaTrader
+
+If these enums are defined in another file (e.g., VWAPTypes.cs), make sure:
+
+It's saved in the same directory as VWAP_Pro.cs
+
+It's added to the NinjaScript Editor, not just sitting in the file system
+
+You can add it using:
+
+Tools > NinjaScript Editor > Right-click > Add > Existing Item...
+
+🧼 Suggested Organization
+
+If these enums are used across multiple indicators/strategies, you should centralize them:
+
+VWAP_Enums.cs
+
+namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.VWAP
+{
+    public enum ModeType
+    {
+        Standard,
+        Aggressive,
+        Conservative
+    }
+
+    public enum AnchorModeType
+    {
+        SessionStart,
+        FixedTime,
+        Custom
+    }
+}
+
+
+Then use:
+
+using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.VWAP;
+
+
+
+These are occurring in VWAP_Pro.cs, mainly on lines 132–134:
+
+Line	Error Message (Truncated)
+132	Argument 2: cannot convert from 'int' to 'NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont'
+132	Argument 3: cannot convert from 'NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont' to 'System.Windows.Media.Brush'
+133	Same as above
+134	Same as above
+🔧 Interpretation:
+
+It looks like a method (likely a drawing method like Draw.Text() or Draw.TextFixed()) is being called with the wrong argument types — specifically:
+
+An int is being passed where a SimpleFont is expected.
+
+A SimpleFont is being passed where a Brush is expected.
+
+This suggests that arguments are out of order or misassigned.
+
+✅ Proper Fix
+
+Let’s consider the proper usage of Draw.Text() in NinjaTrader 8:
+
+Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, int barsAgo, double y, Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, TextAlignment alignment, Brush outlineBrush, int outlineWidth);
+
+
+Or for simpler usage:
+
+Draw.Text(this, "tag1", "Hello", 0, Close[0], Brushes.White);
+
+
+Your issue likely looks like this:
+
+Draw.Text(this, "tag1", true, "Label", 0, 100, 12, someFont, ...);
+
+
+Where 12 (int) is mistakenly passed as a font or brush, causing the error.
+
+🔧 Corrected Example:
+
+Assuming you want to draw text with a specific font and color:
+
+SimpleFont font = new SimpleFont("Arial", 12);
+Draw.Text(this, "tag1", true, "VWAP Label", 0, Close[0], Brushes.White, font, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Black, 1);
+
+
+Brushes.White → text color
+
+font → SimpleFont object
+
+TextAlignment.Center → alignment
+
+Brushes.Black → outline brush
+
+1 → outline width
+
+✅ Steps to Fix:
+
+Replace the integer (e.g., 12) with a SimpleFont:
+
+new SimpleFont("Arial", 12)
+
+
+Ensure arguments are in the correct order:
+Double-check the method signature from the NinjaTrader 8 Help Guide
+.
+
+Use Brushes for colors, not fonts.

+Summary of Errors:
+Line	Column	Missing Type
+403	39	ModeType
+403	54	AnchorModeType
+408	63	ModeType
+408	78	AnchorModeType
+367	28	ModeType
+✅ Fixes:
+
+These types — ModeType and AnchorModeType — are not recognized. Here are the likely causes and solutions:
+
+🔍 1. Missing using Directive
+
+These types might be defined in a different namespace. If they are from a custom or NinjaTrader add-on:
+
+Fix: Add the appropriate using statement at the top of your file.
+
+Example:
+
+using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns.VWAP;
+
+
+Adjust according to where ModeType and AnchorModeType are defined.
+
+🔍 2. Missing Class Definitions
+
+If they are not in any existing libraries, they might be custom enum types that should be defined in your project but are missing.
+
+Fix: Add enum declarations like these (if applicable):
+
+public enum ModeType
+{
+    Standard,
+    Aggressive,
+    Conservative
+}
+
+public enum AnchorModeType
+{
+    SessionStart,
+    FixedTime,
+    Custom
+}
+
+
+Only do this if you know what the enum values should be. These names are placeholders — you should match them with how your indicator/strategy is designed.
