Changing the label of cell header Market Analyzer

[mphilipp]

Hi @all,

I have an indicator that changes his mode depending on a parameter input value. This change should be illustrated on the column label so that I'm able to observe how the output in cell should be interpreted...

e.g. Parameter name "Rank" - > Value from 0...7
0 -> "VWAP SMA xy"
1 -> "RSI Calc."
......

I would like to see if Rank == 1 the Column should named "RSI Calc."

Any ideas?
Many thx and have a successful trading day ;-)

Hello mphilipp,

Thanks for your post.

The label field in the Market analyzer column is editable. When setting your indicator column parameter you can change the label at the same time to suit your needs. The label by default would reflect the indicators name, however, you can remove and or edit the label (under Set up section) to suit your needs.

Hi Paul,
knknwo taht I can do this manually, but I prefer to do it programmatically....
That's what I like to do... I can't see the difference to modify the cell output in color or format, so why not the cell header... I think it's maybe an undocumented feature...

Hope you can help me ;-)

Hello Markus,

Thanks for your reply.

You can override the display name of the indicator which would change the column label. Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...isplayname.htm

Example (labelNumber is an int):

		public override string DisplayName
		{
    		get { 				
				if (Labelnumber == 0)
					return "VWAP SMA xy"; 
				else if (Labelnumber == 1)
					return "RSI Calc"; 
				else
					return "Other"; 
			} 	
		}
