I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but just can't figure out how to get indicator values for 2 symbols in a consolidated handler. The Console.WriteLine method in the FiveMinuteHandler prints out the value of SPY's average for uvxyAverage, and the value of SPY's atr for the value of uvxyAtr. Wny aren't the values of UVXY's indicators in those variables?

To my understanding, a consolidator works for a single symbol only.
Try creating a consolidator for each symbol, and registering your indicators on these.
Also, notice that the RegisterIndicator method also adds the consolidator to the subscription manager, so you could skip doing it your explicitly.
Alexandre Catarino
Consolidators work for multiple symbols. We need to create a consolidator to every symbol.
Please checkout the attached project.
In this algorithm, the event handler (FiveMinuteHandler) was only subcribed to one symbol, because we do not want duplicate Console.WriteLine output. If we want more information about the consolidated bars, we need to write some logics to save the last bars values (maybe a RollingWindow) to use it latter.

That did the trick. Thanks a lot guys for your help.
