Hey everyone,
I want to move my algorithm to the Alpha Framework and encountering some problems.
I get a NullReferenceException, but I cannot see where the problem is.
Attached is a shortened version of the algorithm:

Hey Lukas,
You're getting a null reference error because the Update method expects you to return a list of insights, however on lines 39 and 42 you're returning None.
if d1 or d2 or d3: return if self.month == algorithm.Time.month: returnInstead you should define insights earlier and return insights.
# initialize insights insights = [] .... if d1 or d2 or d3: return insights if self.month == algorithm.Time.month: return insightsI also made some other changes. Instead of using the helper method algorithm.MOM to define self.mom, I defined a Momentum indicator and then registered it to a daily consolidator. This way we can remove that consolidator from use if that security is removed from our universe. This will make our algorithm more efficient.
