  You may post code snippets. That's what this is for. In any case this is not a code check service.

  Hi @backtrader,

  Thank you for this detailed response.

  My humble apologies for how this issue has been approached.
  If I ever have a bug report in the future I will be sure to include that information.

  As it turns out, you are quite right... I stuffed up on the version front and wasn't using the lastest. I have since upgraded and the script runs completely! Wish I knew this yesterday before wasting several hours trying to debug a problem which didnt exist (my mistake!)!!

  I assure you I haven't abandoned the getvalue thread, I am still working on addressing your suggested solutions and will get back to you to confirm if I have resolved the issue regarding short positions as soon as I have time to do some more thorough testing.

  As a suggestion, with those example codes, would it be possible to include all elements for users such as myself to do a full run without edits? Perhaps inclusion of the necessary files etc too would be valuable and save some time. I spent some time yesterday to try and get your blog post to run and didn't consider that I would have to incorporate additional code to re-order data etc. I understand that it would never have worked for me though given my version issues..! But this may be useful for others going forward.

  Thank you for your time and patience in assisting me as I learn this platform and process.

  Suggestion: read the Docs - Quickstart Access an comparison is done several times with a Simple Moving Average

  You store the created indicator in a variable: self.myvar = bt.ind.Trix(...) You access the values: self.myvar[0] which automates the process of doing self.myvar.lines.trix[0]

  I see your use of get_ylim() and set_ylim() but could not find a parameter that would take advantage of this. Seems you use it for volume for this exact purpose.

  There is no other way.

  In any case the expected (even if small) API of the Writer should have a small documentation page to ease up subclassing.
