Futures and Currency symbols in an Enum

[freewind]

Hi All,

For an indicator I'm writing I'm using an Enum that will hold all the tickers.

public enum Tickers
    {
        AA ,
        AXP,
        BA,
        BAC,
        CAT,
        CVX,
        DD,
        DIS,
        GE,
        HD,
        HPQ,
}

When I'm trying to add future contracts such as ES 12-10 and currency pairs $EURUSD I get error because the '$', '-' and number after space are not valid for the Enum.

Do you have any suggestion how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

freewind, I would then just use the MasterInstrument name without individual contract expiries - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...trument_na.htm

Additionally, parse should also do the trick - http://www.cambiaresearch.com/c4/1df...-Instance.aspx
