Indicator Wrapping problem

[KhaosTrader]

Hi,

My strategy uses helper classes, and some of these classes use indicators. Since I instantiate classes from the strategy, I cant pass an indicator reference.. So I decided to create a wrapper of an indicator, but the wrapper cant seem to receive oneachtick events...

Its easier for me just to put a code example...

Here is a class that wraps the EMA

	#region Khaos_Virtual_Indicator_EMA
	public class Khaos_Virtual_Indicator_EMA
	{
		
		private NinjaScriptBase NinjaScriptBase;
		private Indicator Indicator;
		private int Period;
		

		public Series<double> Value { get; private set; }
		
		
		
		public Khaos_Virtual_Indicator_EMA(NinjaScriptBase NinjaScriptBase, int Period)
		{
			this.NinjaScriptBase = NinjaScriptBase;
			this.Period = Period;
			Value = new Series<double>(NinjaScriptBase);
			Indicator = new Indicator();
			Indicator.Calculate = Calculate.OnEachTick;
		}
		
		
		public Series<double> TickTock(ISeries <double> Input)
		{
			
			
			try
			{
			
		Value[0] = Indicator.EMA(Input,this.Period)[0];
				
				
				
			return Value;
				
			}
			
			catch (Exception e)
			{
				NinjaScriptBase.Log ("Cought Error Khaos Moving Average = " + e.ToString(), NinjaTrader.Cbi.LogLevel.Warning);
				NinjaScriptBase.Print(NinjaScriptBase.Time[0] +  " " + e.ToString());
				return Value;
			}				
		}
	}
	#endregion

And for illustration purposes, I created an indicator that will utilize this class.. here...

So strangely, I wont get an update on the indicator for each tick...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
