I run code in research jupyter notebook:
minutes=len(df_price)
ema = qb.Indicator(ExponentialMovingAverage(750), syl, minutes, Resolution.Minute)
close = qb.Indicator(SimpleMovingAverage(1), syl, minutes, Resolution.Minute)
close = close.drop('simplemovingaverage', axis = 1)
close_over_ema = IndicatorExtensions.Over(close, ema)
the output is :
InvalidCastException: cannot convert object to target type

Hi Li,
The reason is, the Indicator created by qb.Indicator() is actually a panda dataframe, not a QC Indicator class type. If you try to print type(ema) for example, you would see `pandas.core.frame.DataFrame
`. Therefore, IndicatorExtensions.Over cannot take those dataframes as arguments. It only works in backtesting algorithms.
Meanwhile, I would suggest to manually divide two value. Here is information for accessing value in panda dataframe. Hope it helps!
