Instrument Name

[nt2010]

Hi,

i´d like to check in my strategy if the name of the intrument is MSFT.
I need this for backtesting on a bunch of possible stock portfolios.

How do i do this ?

I´ve found at http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...html?today.htm

that there is something like "Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name".

But if i put it into my "if clause" then it says that MSFT is not known.
My sample:

...if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat && Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == MSFT)...
then do something...

It would be great if you could give me a hint how i could archive this.
Thank You !

You need to compare like variables. Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name is a string. Correct would be: ... Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "MSFT"
