Custom Performance Metrics

[gregid]

I admit first time I had a look at http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ncemetrics.htm
I got a little , after all having the following to get the value of custom metrics is not the most intuitive:

     // Find a the value of a specific custom Performance Metric named "MyPerformanceMetric"
     for (int i = 0; i < SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.PerformanceMetrics.Length; i++)
     {
          if (SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.PerformanceMetrics[i] is 
               NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.PerformanceMetrics.MyPerformanceMetric)
          {
               Print((SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.PerformanceMetrics[i] as 
                    NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.PerformanceMetrics.MyPerformanceMetric).Values[0]);
          }
     }

So my recommendation not to discourage users from utilizing this new addition is to give also LINQ alternative in help guide, eg:

PerformanceMetrics.SampleCumProfit myMetric = (PerformanceMetrics.SampleCumProfit)strategy.PerformanceMetrics.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == "SampleCumProfit");
Print("Sample Cum Profit"+myMetric.Values[0]);

, for sure much friendlier. I'll take a look at changing. Earlier on in the documentation process we decided not to use LINQ since we didn't want to introduce the new concept but you for sure have a point in this specific example.
