Hi,
I'm trying a very basic strategy. When the stock hits the bottom bollinger band buy, and top band sell. The problem is I can't figure out how to extract the current value from the indicators. It also gives me the same value.
In initialize I have _bb = BB("SPY", 20, 1, MovingAverageType.Simple, Resolution.Daily);
And in OnData I have
Debug(_bb.LowerBand.Current.Value + " " + data[symbol].Close);
Console shows that the Bollinger band value never changes why the sybol value does. What am I doing wrong?
