QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi guys,
Hope you're all well. I have the following issue: I want to take a subset of available data for a stock and work out an indicator for the chosen period. For example, the average day-to-day % stock change from 2013 - 2014.
I then want to use that indicator for a backtest from 2014 - present, while updating it dynamically.
Does anyone know how to do this in cSharp?
Thanks in advance
Hugo

Hi Hugo, Here is a potential solution:
The algorithm can implement SetWarmUp and run through the previous years data. This will prime the technical indicators before the backtesting starts. Then during the backtesting these indicators are used and updated. Below is a backtest to show the following.
QuantConnect provides more than 100 technical indicators already so it will be worth your time to look through the reference table. If these are not sufficient it is possible to create custom indicators (also in the documentation).

Ok great - thank you Gurumeher. Let me take a look at SetWarmUp and the code you attached and I will get back if I have any more questions!
