Hello,

Thank you for the question.

This error would be expected as you are accessing a Static class named Instrument rather than the Inherited property which Indicators and Strategies have.

When you are programming outside of an indicator or strategy, you will find items like this where a property may be valid in a Indicator or strategy but is no longer valid in this type.

Looking at the other columns that are included with the platform you will be able to find most of the syntax needed that applies directly to a SuperDomColumn.

In the script in general, you could use:

Print(DateTime.Now + SuperDom.Instrument.FullName + "Crossed below ask");

To find the instrument for the OnMarketData event, you could also use:

Print(DateTime.Now + marketDataUpdate.Instrument.FullName + "Crossed below ask");

I look forward to being of further assistance.

cool, that works but I got another issue
I enter order using MIT and when I look at the order update, the limit price is zero.
how can I get the MIT price of the order just entered using orderupdate?

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(OrderEventArgs orderUpdate)
{
if(orderUpdate.Filled==orderUpdate.Order.Quantity)
{
stopprice=0;
limitprice = 0;
return;
}


if (orderUpdate.Order.OrderType == OrderType.MIT )
{
limitprice = orderUpdate.LimitPrice;
Print(DateTime.Now + SuperDom.Instrument.FullName + OrderType.MIT + orderUpdate.LimitPrice);

}


}

ignore the question as I found the answer-orderUpdate.StopPrice
if (orderUpdate.Order.OrderType == OrderType.MIT )
{
limitprice = orderUpdate.StopPrice;
Print(DateTime.Now + SuperDom.Instrument.FullName + OrderType.MIT + orderUpdate.StopPrice);

}
