Hi there,
I'm trying to add some candlestick pattern indicators to my algo in python.
I did it the same as in the doc but the pattern method doesn't even exist on the CandlesticksPatterns class, is that normal ?
During the algorithm initialization, the following exception has occurred: Trying to dynamically access a method that does not exist throws a TypeError exception. To prevent the exception, ensure each parameter type matches those required by the Doji method. Please checkout the API documentation.
at Initialize in main.py:line 54
:: doji = CandlestickPatterns.Doji(self.pairSymbol)
TypeError : No method matches given arguments for Dojiself.pairSymbol comes from:
self.pairSymbol = self.AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Hour)What am I missing here ? It does the same for all other CandlestickPatterns by the way.
Thanks in advance

Hi - AddForex returns a Security object. To access the Symbol of the Security, please use self.pairSymbol.Symbol.
I would recommend renaming pairSymbol to pairSecurity (for readability) or define it as follows:
self.pairSymbol = self.AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Hour).SymbolYanis
