Hello fellows,
I hacked together this to get a feeling of quantconnect and I get this error, wich suggests I have to declare somehow the apriOrdineTest object. (I'm new to both QC and CSharp so excuse me if this is a very dumb question)
I just dont understand why the commented out IF works and the current IF with more conditions does not.
The error is: "Runtime Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

hi,
if(!heikinHour.IsReady) { // THIS ONE causes Runtime Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an objectvar heikinValue = heikinHour;
}
if NOT is READY set heikinValue? --> maybe if(heikinHour.IsReady) ???
The indicator works check the Logs output/file
