Displaying Instrument (Stock) Name on Chart

[Pete Collins]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has written/knows how to write something to enable me to see the instrument/stock/index name on the chart as I am changing them, as I look at quite a few different instruments in quick succession sometimes - it would be great to have this. I know a lot of other platforms do, so I don't have to look up the ticker symbols sometimes.

It wouldn't necessarily have to be large and 'behind' the candles, maybe to the side or up the top etc.

Please let me know, thanks.

Hello Pete Collins,

The instrument name can be found with Instrument.FullName.

You can draw text on the chart using DrawText or DrawTextFixed.

For example:
DrawTextFixed("text1", Instrument.FullName, TextPosition.TopLeft);
