Hey guys, I was looking through one of the recent forum posts on using history to update indicator bars in the universes. I ran the backtest and noticed that, while it ran, the log actually didn't output the correct data to use. All of the ADX values were 50 and all of the ATR values were 0. I'm not sure how to fix this to make it useable.

Hi Brad,
Thank you for your question. It is a really good observation. In fact, a missing argument in TradeBar caused this issue. It should be bar = TradeBar(tuple.Index, symbol, tuple.open, tuple.high, tuple.low, tuple.close, tuple.volume) rather than bar = TradeBar(tuple.Index, tuple.open, tuple.high, tuple.low, tuple.close, tuple.volume) in line 70. We should add the symbol of the equity when creating TradeBar. In this way, the ADX and ATR will get updated correctly and they are no longer always 0 and 50. Besides, I log the values of other indicators too (SMAv, SMA, and RSI). All of them get updated correctly and their values are reasonable.
Now, feel free to combine Universe Selection and different Indicators. We hope you can create some amazing algorithms based on this example. Good luck!
