Hi, I am trying to store 52 week high/low values for the stocks in my algorithm with the help of Minimum/Maximum Indicator classes and populating it manually with 253 data period points. Values are being populated, but they are not the actual 52 week lows when I check them on other sites like tradingview. Please find the backtest along with the code I have shared here.
For easier debugging I have returned GME as the only security. I am getting wrong 52 week low values when we check the console Debug messages. For example on 2020-11-03:
52 week low is shown as 3.85, which is clearly not the case when we check it on Trading view:
Can you please help me by pointing out where am I going wrong? One point I would like to add is even so extensive the Quant Connect platform is, it is extremely time consuming and frustrating to debug the algorithms. I have already spent x3 more time debugging this issue than I spent to actually code it. Thanks in advance.

We don't think your code is applied correctly.
Try this way.

Hi Vladimir Thanks for the answer. Can you please help and point out why my code is not working/correct?
Thanks in advance.

In your algorithm, instead of calculating Highest High and Lowest Low the code calculates Highest Close and Lowest Close.
You defined the topic of this thread as "Incorrect Minimum indicator value".
If my algorithm calculates Lowest Low correctly please accept my answer.
I'll be happy to answer other questions in another thread.

HI Vladimir yes I am aware its not calculating lowest low for 52 week low, I am trying to first model intentional behavior and then will work on fixing data issues. If you check the above chart I posted, the close value also is not expected as 253 period lowest close. your indicator does calculate the correct value, but I am wondering about what is the bug in my code due to which lowest close is not correct.

Vladimir Please refer to this chart, The algorithm Minimum is giving 3.85 close as lowest close while we have 2.80 which is lower close than it.

Try to calculate Highest Close and Lowest Close using self.MAX() and self.MIN()
2020-11-03 Lowest Close = 2.795

Vladimir MIN() is readily available and automatic updated version for Minimum Indicator class right? Why might Minimum not be working?
Vladimir

Using Maximum() and Minimum() return the same results.
2020-11-03 Lowest Close = 2.795

Vladimir yes, Will be thankful to you if you could help me out on what is going wrong in my algorithm when I am trying to achieve it with CoarseSelectionFunction.
