Hi Armin.
Thanks for sharing. Using Rolling Windows is an efficient way to access previous indicator values.
I've attached a backtest where I use a Rolling Window in the Algorithm Framework to store Exponential Moving Average Indicator values. The Algorithm emits an "Up" insight when the price of SPY is above the current indicator value, retrieved from a Rolling Window.
Check out this documentation section on the Algorithm Framework for further information on how to construct Alpha Models.
