The constructor in CiDBB is as follows:

public:

  CiDBB() : CIndicatorBase() { }
  CiDBB(string pSymbol,ENUM_TIMEFRAMES pTimeFrame,int pBBPeriod,double pBBDeviationOut,double pBBDeviationInn)
        : CIndicatorBase() { InitHandle(pSymbol,pTimeFrame,pBBPeriod,pBBDeviationOut,pBBDeviationInn); }
 ~CiDBB();

Any clues what I am doing wrong ?

        dbbM01(mSymbol,mTFM01,mBBPeriod,mBBDeviationOut,mBBDeviationInn); // CAUSING ERROR ...

You are calling a constructor, not a function. You can only call a constructor in the owning class's constructor. Compare to:

CStrategyBase(string pSymbol,double pRiskPerTrade = 1.00) : CInputBase(pSymbol,pRiskPerTrade) { }

Hi William

Your reply seems too much technical :), however when I tried creating at pointer variable *dbb and define dbb = new CiDBB(mSymbol,mTFM01,mBBPeriod,mBBDeviationOut,mBBDeviationInn); it worked.

Thanks for your time and efforts.
