Updating indicators and getting their values for multiple symbols?
I like to define a special SymbolData class inside my algorithm. I used this to hold all the data I want for a particular symbol in a convenient place. It's easy to tack on indicators, functions, and other behavior. Then creating a Dictionary
class SymbolData
{
public readonly string Symbol;
public readonly ExponentialMovingAverage Fast;
public readonly ExponentialMovingAverage Slow;
public SymbolData(string symbol, QCAlgorithm algorithm)
{
Symbol = symbol
Fast = algorithm.EMA(symbol, 10);
Slow = algorithm.EMA(symbol, 50);
};
}
private Dictionary Symbols = new Dictionary();
// in initialize
foreach (var symbol in SymbolList)
{
AddSecurity(SecurityType.Equity, symbol);
Symbols.Add(symbol, new SymbolData(symbol, this));
}
// in on data
foreach (var symbolData in Symbols.Values)
{
if (symbolData.Fast > symbolData.Slow) SetHoldings(symbolData.Symbol, 1.0);
else Liquidate(symbolData.Symbol);

Still have questions until I'll get that working. How to declare, for example, window indicator?
/.../
//_window = algorithm ???
/.../
You could manually define it using code similar to the following:
var consolidator = new TradeBarConsolidator(period);
SubscriptionManager.AddConsolidator("SPY", consolidator);
var window = new RollingWindow(windowSize);
consolidator.DataConsolidated += (sender, tradeBar) => window.Add(tradeBar); Now everytime the consolidator makes new data it will be pumped into the window! This would also work for indicator values using indicator.Updated event.
