Maybe I'm just totally lost, but how would one going about using the Max attribute? Im trying to create a variable for an entry signal based on a 55 day high, just to get a working algorithm going.

self.LE_Signal = self.Max(self.Symbol, 55, Resolution.Daily)I keep getting an error saying "

Hard to say for sure without pretext of algorithm but guessing it's the capitalization, MAX()

Hi Sean,
To use indicators with futures, I suggest following this example, changing EMA to MAX. Furthermore, we are working on adding support to continuous contracts.
