interesting that the moving average with period 1 doesn't equal the base value...?
additionally, why doesn't the moving average show up for the first month of backtesting in my SMAs plot?

_smaLow = SMA(_symbol, 1, Resolution.Daily); _smaHigh = SMA(_symbol, 1, Resolution.Daily);The helper indicator functions (such as SMA, EMA, BB, ect...) perform the registration for you, so there's no need to call the RegisterIndicator function with them. If you do register an indicator that has already been registered then it will receive multiple updates, producing incorrect values. Additionally, the default value that gets sent into your indicator will be the Value property. If you'd like a different value to be sent into your indicator, currently you'll need to manually create the indicator using the 'new' keyword and then register the indicator.var _smaLow = new SimpleMovingAverage(1); var _smaHigh = new SimpleMovingAverage(1); RegisterIndicator(symbol, _smaLow, ResolveConsolidator(symbol, Resolution.Daily), x => ((TradeBar)x).Low); RegisterIndicator(symbol, _smaHigh, ResolveConsolidator(symbol, Resolution.Daily), x => ((TradeBar)x).High);Tomorrow I'll work on adding an overload to each of the indicator helper functions that accepts the 'selector' function so you could simply write:_smaLow = SMA(symbol, Resolution.Daily, x => ((TradeBar)x).Low);NathanGeorge

x => x.PropertyThis can be read as 'x becomes x dot property' and defines a function of a single parameter, x, that returns x.Property. They're super handy at allowing calling code to specify intricate behavior without the need for additional classes/interfaces. I often think of it as an interface of a singular method.Michael Handschuh
