I attempted to write my first custom Indicator. It calculates the average Momentum for a given time-frame. Or, it would if the darn thing worked. Instead, it crashes Lean before it ever initializes.
In the attached Backtest, uncomment the line following, "UNCOMMENT THIS LINE AND IT WILL BREAK." in Main.cs. I would have submitted it as such, but I couldn't even get the Backtest to get past Queuing with the line in there.

Hi, My.
To create a custom indicator, first create a class with an update method. I've attached a backtest where I demonstrate how to create an indicator that calculates the average value of price change (momentum) over a defined period. Notice that the indicator value prints out to the attached log file.
For further information on how to create a custom indicator, check out this community post and also the documentation section on indicators.
