Strategy name

[kiss987]

Is there a way for my indicator/strategy to know their names? For example, if my strategy is called "MyCustomStrategy", I want to know it by code.

Thanks

Hello kiss987,

Thanks for the question.

I wanted to clarify with you, are you trying to make MyCustomStrategy so that an indicator can see this strategy?

Or are you trying to access a indicator by name from the Strategy similar to how you would access any of the stock indicators from a strategy?

If you are trying to accomplish the first option there is not really a documented way to do this.

If you are trying to access a indicator by name from a strategy, you don’t have to do anything additional because as soon as you save the indicator it would be able to be called from another indicator or strategy.

When you create a indicator you have this line of code at the top:

[Description("")]
    public class MyCustomIndicator: Indicator
    {

By giving it a unique name "MyCustomIndicator" you could then call this from another indicator or strategy by using its name MyCustomIndicator() followed by ( )

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.
