    For code/output blocks: Use ``` (aka backtick or grave accent) in a single line before and after the block. See: http://commonmark.org/help/

    Why is the indicator always executed before the Strategy?

      I noticed that it appears that the indicator is calculated for the whole time-series before the code in the strategy starts.

      I don't see the rationale behind this. At index n you already have n+k calculated. That would be impossible in real-time.

      Are am I missing something about the purpose of the indicator?

          What you observed is vectorized computing of indicators.
          That's a feature to speed up the process. Disable it by adding a param runonce=False in your cerebro.run() call.
