Help With Custom Indicators in CBot

Can someone please help me figure out why this isnt working. Thanks
Error Code : Error CS1061: 'cAlgo.EmaforATRBot' does not contain a definition for 'Result' and no extension method 'Result' accepting a first argument of type 'cAlgo.EmaforATRBot' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
namespace cAlgo.Robots
{

Atr = Indicators.GetIndicator<ATRPipValue>();
Ema = Indicators.GetIndicator<EmaforATRBot>();
Frac = Indicators.Fractals(5);
High = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(Bars.HighPrices, 1);
Low = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(Bars.LowPrices, 1);
C = High.Result.LastValue - Low.Result.LastValue;
Volume = (0.57 * High.Result.LastValue) / C;
VolumeUsd = Volume * 1.37;
lot = 100000 * High.Result.LastValue;
Lot = Volume / lot;
}

}

RE:

As the error message says, why do you think there's a property called "Result"?
There clearly isn't one, so you'll have to figure out what property you need to reference to get the latest value. Not every indicator has a "Result" field nor is it required to.
So the best way to tackle this problem is change the line from "Ema.Result.LastValue" to just "Ema". Once you have that, type the period "." to see if any properties show up. Then you'll have to pick from the list if they do.
If they don't, you need to either be able to see the source code to see what the property is, read the documentation, or get in contact with the indicator's author.
Thanks. Looking back at my indicator I had used Resultema instead of Result
