@ab_trader ok thx.

Great, yeah that's pretty much what I was trying to do. Do you happen to have a way of saving settings too? For example the default chart plots a 'line' for the ohlc data and I went into scheme.py to change it to 'candle' and the way I usually update the whole albacka_backtrader_api is I just go on github and download the zip and replace the old one, so I lose settings like that. Is there a way to save all that or not update those files?

@Wayne-Filkins Try passing in the full datas line, so:

def __init__(self): self.myfrac = bt.studies.Fractal(self.datas[0])

And call the values like this.

def next(self): self.log( f"Bearish {self.myfrac.fractal_bearish[0]:9.2f}, Bullish {self.myfrac.fractal_bullish[0]:9.2f}" )

Here is the relevant code for the alpaca data source.

@Wayne-Filkins
perfect

@ab_trader If I can use the fractal indicator to reference the true/false for any candle, like fractal[-14] to find out if 14 candles back was a high or low, then it will work, because I have to be able to get the high/low value from the fractal, not just knowing whether or not it is. I'll mess around with it, definitely looks cleaner than my method lol.
