Hi, I am using rolling window to be able to access previous indicator values. However, I am getting error when I comparing the value from the indicator to 0. I am not sure what the issue is. Thanks!
This works.
long_signal_1 = self.momfiveDayWindow[0] > self.momfiveDayWindow[2]
## THIS DOES NOT WORK.
long_signal_1 = self.momfiveDayWindow[0] > float(0)

Hi Seine,
The second statement does not work because it is comparing `self.momfiveDayWindow[0]` (which is of type IndicatorDataPoint) with a float. We can get the float value of `self.momfiveDayWindow[0]` by calling `self.momfiveDayWindow[0].Value`. Thus, a working statement would read
long_signal_1 = self.momfiveDayWindow[0].Value > float(0)In addition to that error, the algorithm was also running into issues with checking the `self.ticket.Time` while `self.ticket` was set to `None`. We can resolve this by ensuring
self.ticket is not Nonebefore checking `self.ticket.Time`.
See the attached backtest which has both of these issues resolved.
Best,
Derek
