Series values from indicator as 0 in a Strategy.

[naanku]

I have an indicator and a strategy that I am writing to call this indicator and use the values from the indicator. The indicator works as expected and plots on the chart etc. When this indicator is called inside a strategy, I was trying to print the indicator plot/series, but it prints correct values in Historial and always prints 0 in real-time. Not sure what is wrong. Unfortunately I can not export or upload the code.

Hello naanku,

Add debugging prints to understand the behavior. Below is a link to a support article on adding debugging prints to understand behavior.

Print the time of the bar, the state property. If the plot series is assigned in a logic block, print all values compared in the condition with labels for each value and comparison operator.
One line below where the plot series is assigned a value, print the time of the bar and the assigned value.

To assist, I've made a very simple test script that calls an indicator in both historical and real-time and shows the plot value is being assigned (to the bar number) in the indicator in rea-time.
