Ninja 7 Strategy Property Question

[mjc4118]

In Ninja 7 Strategy how do I access the LABEL property from with inside the OnBarUpdate() or OnStartup() event of the strategy... I want to print the information contained in the "Label" out to my log on alerts and to the output window to assist in debugging and tracking performance.

Thanks for the help.

Hello mjc4118,

You may be able to do this with

Print(this.ToString());

This is the name of the strategy. Let us know if you're looking for something else.

That works ...BUT ..it gives me all the parameters which is too much information. I really do not want to parse the string when I am sure what I am looking for already exists...

it returns ... StrategyName(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) when all I really want is simply the StrategyName (Or the contents of the "Label" parameter and not all the extraneous data ...

I see. You should look into this reference sample on custom formatting the label property:
Removing and Custom Formatting an Indicator’s Chart Label

You should be able to format the value you're looking for by following that sample.

Thanks .. I can just use the Name Property.
Additional question. where do you have documentation for all of the Properies and Methods for the NinjaTrader classes. I do not have any of this information in my help file. It would make questions like this unnescessary

Thanks

Beyond the help guide, we use these forums for documenting NinjaScript with the reference samples and tips section. This particular one (label) is only documented in the reference sample, because it involves a special technique for modifying.

Available classes, methods, properties are all defined here. Let us know if you're interested in anything specific and we can point to the right place.
