DualSymbolIndicator(
    name: str,
    target_symbol: Union[Symbol, str, BaseContract],

    period: int,
)

Bases: Generic[QuantConnect_Indicators_DualSymbolIndicator_TInput], MultiSymbolIndicator[QuantConnect_Indicators_DualSymbolIndicator_TInput]

Base class for indicators that work with two different symbols and calculate an indicator based on them.

Initializes the dual symbol indicator.

The constructor accepts a target symbol and a reference symbol. It also initializes the time zones for both symbols and checks if they are different.
