Sorry for such a simple post, but I couldn't find another community thread about this.
I am trying to create a variable for the price of my asset to assess whether or not it's above a set of indicators.
I have my BB indicators assigned to self.bb1, bb2, and bb3.
I want to create an if statement that will buy or sell whenever the price is above or below the lower and upper bounds of the Bollinger Bands.
How do I create this variable for the price? Or is there another way I should go about this that would be more efficient?
Thank you in advance, I love this platform!

I'm not sure the exact code in python but I think it's self.Portfolio["SPY"(Whatever ticker in quotes)].Price

Prices for a specific symbol can be accessed via self.Securities[symbol].Price. Securities is a list of Security objects that contains all of the securities which were subscribed in Initialize() that are indexed by their symbols.

I did try both of those as guesses previously. I remember when using:
Self.Portfolio[symbol].Price
It threw an error, but it may have been unrelated. Thanks for the help.!
