This is an example of using NQ futures history to warm up some indicators using custom consolidators and then purchasing one NQ contract.
As of when I wrote this it should work on backtests and live, though it does require the 3.0 beta.
Enabling the 3.0 beta also required me to turn off the new Firefox privacy feature as it was interfering with the new dev environment.

In case someone notices, I switched from using an ATR to a PSAR as for one of the example indicators, and from 20 minute to a 9 minute SMA. Â I neglected to update the comments and a variable name. Â Oops!
