It seems that indicators can not be properly updated manually in Python. There is no way to initialize an indicator without it auto-updating.
For example:
`hma = self.HMA(self.symbolId, 10)`
will start automatic updates.
How can you prevent automatic updates of an indicator in Python?

Hey Will,
You can initialize an indicator using its Constructor rather than using the helper method. For example
hma = HullMovingAverage(10)This creates a 10 period HMA indicator which is not updated by any data source. From here you can manually update the indicator with data
hma.Update(time, close)Learn more about creating and updating indicators in the documentation.
