Runtime Error accessing SMA by Chantal Coolsma

I am a bit puzzled and I don't know what I am doing wrong. This code:

class QuantumDynamicProcessor(QCAlgorithm):



    def Initialize(self):



        self.SetStartDate(2019, 1, 1)  # Set Start Date

        self.SetCash(200)  # Set Strategy Cash

        self.AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Daily, Market.Oanda)

        self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.OandaBrokerage)



        self.heikinAshi = self.HeikinAshi("EURUSD", Resolution.Daily)

        self.momentum = self.MOM("EURUSD", 10, Resolution.Daily)

        self.movingAverage = self.SMA("EURUSD", 50, Resolution.Daily)

        self.RegisterIndicator("EURUSD", self.movingAverage, Resolution.Daily)



        self.SetWarmUp(50)



    def OnData(self, data):

        if not self.Portfolio.Invested:

            if self.heikinAshi.Close.Value > self.movingAverage.Current.Value:

                self.MarketOrder("EURUSD", 1000)

        if self.Portfolio.Invested:

            if self.heikinAshi.Close.Value < self.heikinAshi.Open.Value:

                self.MarketOrder("EURUSD", -1000)

Results in a Runtime Error.

Runtime Error: AttributeError : 'Identity' object has no attribute 'Value'
at OnData in main.py:line 19
:: if self.heikinAshi.Close.Value > self.movingAverage.Current.Value:
AttributeError : 'Identity' object has no attribute 'Value' (Open Stacktrace)

Isn't this the right way to access the current value of a moving average?

Hi Chantal Coolsma

Please add .Current before .Value:

    def OnData(self, data):

        if not self.Portfolio.Invested:

            if self.heikinAshi.Close.Current.Value > self.movingAverage.Current.Value:

                self.MarketOrder("EURUSD", 1000)

        if self.Portfolio.Invested:

            if self.heikinAshi.Close.Current.Value < self.heikinAshi.Open.Current.Value:

                self.MarketOrder("EURUSD", -1000)

In all Indicators, the numerical value can be found in the Current.Value attribute.
