Hello Uregon,

Thanks for writing in.

We do not have any sample code for getting the text of a tab in a strategy to use in an alert. Instead, you could consider adding the name of the instrument in the message string when setting up your alert.

See this help guide page for more information about Alert(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/alert.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.

Hello Uregon,

Thanks for your note.

I see this is posted in the NinjaTrader 7 - Strategy Development section of the forums. Did you mean to post this in the NinjaTrader 8 - Strategy development section of the forums?

In regard to your initial inquiry, NinjaTrader 7 does not contain chart tabs. Also, we do not have documented code to get the tab name in NinjaTrader 8. However, this could be accomplished using undocumented code in NinjaTrader 8. Note that using undocumented code would not be supported.

For example, see below

ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(new Action(() => {
Print((ChartControl.OwnerChart.MainTabControl.Sele ctedContent as ChartTab).ActualTabName);
}));

To get the chart interval (timeframe) that a strategy is running on, you could use BarsPeriod. If you enabled the strategy on a 5-minute ES 12-21 chart, then BarsPeriod would refer to the 5-minute interval. For example, see below.

Print("BarsPeriod: " + BarsPeriod);

Also, see this help guide for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...barsperiod.htm
