If I wanted to calculate the rollng standard deviation of an indicator, how would I go about that? I'm having trouble using the IndicatorExtensions.
For example, if I had and AccumulationDistribution indicator:
self.AD = self.AD("SPY", Resolution.Daily)
self.ADstd = ?
From the documentation, it doesn't look like I can use the Standard Deviation class for anything else besides price.

Hi John,
One way to do this is to use a
StandardDeviation
object, which can be updated by the latest values of another indicator (AD in this case). You can use theUpdated
event handler (register functions using+= MyFunction
) to ensure for every update on the indicator, theStandardDeviation
object will be updated. To see this in action, check out the attached backtest.Best,
