CrossOver value for boll.lines.top (lines object) always returns 0

[tx_562]

Running into an error where bt.ind.CrossOver(self.data.close, self.boll.lines.top) will always return 0, despite multiple crosses, however,
bt.ind.CrossOver(self.data.close, self.boll) returns -1, 0, and 1 values properly. It doesn't seem to return any values from the 'lines' object?

def __init__(self):
    self.boll = bt.ind.BollingerBands(period=3, devfactor=2)
    self.tcrx = bt.ind.CrossOver(self.data.close, self.boll.lines.top)

def next(self):
    print(self.tcrx[0])

@tx_562 said in CrossOver value for boll.lines.top (lines object) always returns 0:

bt.ind.CrossOver(self.data.close, self.boll.lines.top)

I think you want mid. The close won't go over the top.

If you reduce the devfactor or increase the period you'll start to get hits on the top and bottom.

@run-out Thank you! Looks like 'high' is giving me the proper values. Would the 'self.data.close' price be the 'current price' if I'm running replaydata?
