Hi and thank you all for the fantastic work so far!
First of all I must say I’m not that familiar of C# or Lean so please excuse me for the noobishness.
I’m currently porting my trading strategy from another platform into Lean using Framework implementation. The alphamodel uses multiple standard, custom and functional indicators as the base and also their composites with some multi-level deep nesting of indicators.
I was trying to use SMA.Of(EMA) – type of indicator, but the results just didn’t add up in terms of algorithm signal and indicator values. I went and did a basic snippet example of the implementation using the ”RSIAlphaModel” as the basis, while trying to mimic my implementation where applicable.
So here’s the problem: for example let’s make a ConstantIndicator of 1000 and then do SMA(name, 4).Of(ConstantIndicator), and then pass it into a separate RollingWindow and then get its rw[0]. Shouldn’t its value be 1000, since a SMA is basically just an average of values for a given period? I wonder what's going on...
If someone more versed on C#/Lean could point out where the problem in the implementation or in my understanding of Lean might be or if it indeed is a bug it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Here are some results and the implementation:
