from robot_wrapper import *

class Test():
    def on_start(self):
        indicatorType = api.AlgoRegistry.Get("Simple Moving Average", AlgoKind.StandardIndicator)
        if indicatorType is not None:
            smaIndicatorType = IndicatorType(indicatorType)
            print(f"Name: {smaIndicatorType.Name} | Parameters #: {smaIndicatorType.Parameters.Count} | Lines #: {smaIndicatorType.Lines.Count} | Bars: {smaIndicatorType.Bars.Count}")
