Comparison of decimal values from a tradebar

I have coded an example strategy that uses the following concepts:

*   rolling window of type tradebar.

*  consolidated 15 min bar from 1min data.

*  Bolingerband indicator of timeframe consolidated

Error: cannot compare tradebar to decimal with operator >

Is there a required way to compare the decimal components of the tradebar to the decimal price?  I tried to pull the components out of the BB to create windows as well but I am missing something.

 RollingWindow<TradeBar> _datawindow = new RollingWindow<TradeBar>(Hist);
        RollingWindow<BollingerBandState> _bbwindow = new RollingWindow<BollingerBandState>(Hist);
        RollingWindow<decimal> _bbupperwindow = new RollingWindow<decimal>(Hist);
        RollingWindow<decimal> _bblowerwindow = new RollingWindow<decimal>(Hist);

.

.

.

if ( _datawindow[0].Close < _bbupperwindow[0]  && _datawindow[1] > _bbupperwindow[1] && !Portfolio.HoldStock) 

Thanks,

Dan

Note: I typed that last part incorrect.  There should be  a .Close on the _datawindow[1].

It was a typo, right?

I believe your algorithm is a version of the project I am attaching, please checkout the adaptiations:

private RollingWindow<TradeBar> Bar;
private RollingWindow<BollingerBandState> BBWin;

In OnData:

if (Bar[0].Close < BBWin[0].UpperBand &&
Bar[1].Close > BBWin[1].UpperBand &&
!Portfolio.HoldStock)
{
SetHoldings(_spy, 1);
}
