QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
I attempted to write my first custom Indicator. It calculates the average Momentum for a given time-frame. Or, it would if the darn thing worked. Instead, it crashes Lean before it ever initializes.
In the attached Backtest, uncomment the line following, "UNCOMMENT THIS LINE AND IT WILL BREAK." in Main.cs. I would have submitted it as such, but I couldn't even get the Backtest to get past Queuing with the line in there.

Nice clean code Denny --
The bug is this:
SPY.Consolidator outputs type TradeBar but indicator expects input type IndicatorDataPoint 2016-12-13T22:20:37.3746230Z ERROR:: at QuantConnect.Algorithm.QCAlgorithm.RegisterIndicator[T] (QuantConnect.Symbol symbol, QuantConnect.Indicators.IndicatorBase`1[T] indicator, QuantConnect.Data.Consolidators.IDataConsolidator consolidator, System.Func`2[T,TResult] selector) [0x0007b] in <c292482be6584a0c8d8386916b92dc22>:0 2016-12-13T22:20:37.3750900Z ERROR:: at QuantConnect.Algorithm.QCAlgorithm.RegisterIndicator[T] (QuantConnect.Symbol symbol, QuantConnect.Indicators.IndicatorBase`1[T] indicator, System.Nullable`1[T] resolution) [0x0000c] in <c292482be6584a0c8d8386916b92dc22>:0 2016-12-13T22:20:37.3757140Z ERROR:: at QuantConnect.BasicTemplateAlgorithm.AVGMOM (System.String symbol, System.Int32 momentumPeriod, System.Int32 averagePeriod, System.Nullable`1[T] resolution) [0x00036] in <169087126c7d4f6cb5ee1c5f97299808>:0 2016-12-13T22:20:37.3761210Z ERROR:: at QuantConnect.BasicTemplateAlgorithm.Initialize () [0x00074] in <169087126c7d4f6cb5ee1c5f97299808>:0The problem is the cloud isn't reporting it properly. For now you can move the creation of the indicator into the OnData with an "If Not Created Yet -> Create" check then the error will be reported nicely. We'll submit a patch for the failure to report the bug today-tomorrow.

Thanks Jared. For those interested the fix was to add the selector when calling RegisterIndicator:
public AverageMomentum AVGMOM(string symbol, int momentumPeriod, int averagePeriod, Resolution? resolution = null, Func<IBaseData, decimal> selector = null) { var name = CreateIndicatorName(symbol, string.Format("AVGMOM{0}_{1}", momentumPeriod, averagePeriod), resolution); var avgMom = new AverageMomentum(name, momentumPeriod, averagePeriod); RegisterIndicator(symbol, avgMom, resolution, selector); return avgMom; }Denny Caldwell (Grinn)
