CS2723

error The unit unit does not apply to this input.

#What it means

A unit (bars, minutes, percent and so on) only makes sense on a number input. This input is not a number, or the unit does not fit it (px and pt do not apply to a price).

#Typical cause

• unit = on a bool, string, colour or source input.

#How to fix it

Remove unit =, or move it to the number input it describes. See Inputs.

#Example

//@chartscript 1
indicator("Units")
const show = input.bool(true, "Show", { unit: unit.bars })
const len = input.int(14, "Length")
const avg = ta.sma(close, len)
plot(show ? avg : na)

Fixed

//@chartscript 1
indicator("Units")
const show = input.bool(true, "Show")
const len = input.int(14, "Length", { unit: unit.bars })
const avg = ta.sma(close, len)
plot(show ? avg : na)
