Hello,

I'm assuming you're working with a multi-series strategy? http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nstruments.htm

You could use Print() statements to have a message printed in the Output window that would trigger when the trade was placed.
Print("The current series is: " +BarsInProgress);

However depending on how you place the trades this may not work as you can assign the bars in progress index manually

EnterLong(int barsInProgressIndex, int quantity, string signalName)


If its the name you're looking for

Print(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name);

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you for your help.

What i meant is, suppose my strategy is placed on a 1-minute chart. How do I know (by code) that the chart is a minute and with the value of 1?

Thanks

Hello,

You can use the BarsPeriod property to check that the data series your strategy is running is using the period you expect:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/barsperiod.htm

				if(BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Minute && BarsPeriod.Value == 1)
				{
					//do something
				}
