What am I doing wrong with pos.Instrument?

[ShaneAU]

Hi guys,

When printing pos.Instrument I am getting "EURUSD Default" returned instead of "EURUSD".

Is this expected?

Cheers,

Hello,

I wanted to check, if this is an Instrument object, are you printing the Instrument object its self or the Name property?

Based on the sample, it would seem you may be just printing the object its self which would likely result in what you are seeing.

Could you instead try :

pos.Instrument.FullName


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Great thanks for the quick help on that one Jesse.

pos.Instrument.FullName corrected the issue.

Cheers!

Instrument a tradeable object, which an instance object of the master instrument. Including the exchange (for forex, there is a default exchange)

You either want Instrument.FullName or Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name. Either will work for Forex, but your requirements may change for other assets.

Instrument: ES 06-16 Globex
Instrument.FullName: ES 06-16
Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name: ES

Instrument: AUDUSD Default
Instrument.FullName: AUDUSD
Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name: AUDUSD

Instrument: AAPL NASDAQ
Instrument.FullName: AAPL
Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name: AAPL
