i'm trying to define this:
def GetCurrentTrend(self, ticker = "SPY", span = 30, resolution = Resolution.Daily, noisy = False):
but when i call it produces this error in the backtest at the line where it is called:
OnData: name 'GetCurrentTrend' is not defined
i've seen user-defined functions work if they're scheduled, but can you all confirm whether it's possible to call a user-defined function from within another function? thx
