cBot doesn't receive updated value from indicator - why?

Hi there, 

To fix this issue you need to add a dummy to the indicator and call it from the cBot. See below

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Chickens : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter("Source")]
        public DataSeries Source { get; set; }

        [Output("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }

        public int counter = 1;


        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            // Initialize and create nested indicators
            Print("INDICATOR PRINT | calculate | initial value for \"counter\"  " + counter);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {

            counter = counter > 100 ? 0 : ++counter;
            ChartObjects.DrawText("max100", "counter " + counter, StaticPosition.BottomRight, Colors.Plum);
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class ChickenCounter : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(" Source")]
        public DataSeries Source { get; set; }
        private Chickens chick;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
            chick = Indicators.GetIndicator<Chickens>(Source);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
            Print(chick.Result.LastValue);
            Print("OnTick | counter  " + chick.counter);
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Best Regards,
