Hello defa0009,

Thank you for your post.

It looks like you are passing a variable to AddDataSeries(). Please note that AddDataSeries() should not be used dynamically and is not supported to be used in this way:

"Arguments supplied to AddDataSeries() should be hardcoded and NOT dependent on run-time variables which cannot be reliably obtained during State.Configure (e.g., Instrument, Bars, or user input). Attempting to add a data series dynamically is NOT guaranteed and therefore should be avoided."

If you hardcode the AddDataSeries() call, are you still getting this error?

If you are using the Unmanaged Approach in a strategy script (i.e. using SubmitOrderUnmanaged()) then you still need to use AddDataSeries() to actually pull in the data.

GetInstrument is returning the instrument object but isn't actually pulling in any data for the strategy to calculate.

Hello,

In that case, yes, you could simply use Instrument to pass into CreateOrder() as the instrument you're submitting the order to.
