Recognizing instrument when using stop loss on multi strategy script

[dafonseca]

I am working with a multi strategy script. It is easy to recognize trades on exexution method through their names..
If (execution.Name == "Long AAPL") do this..............

However when some strategy is stoped .. execution.Name will be "stop loss" :for all.
So, I ve tried

if (execution.Name == "Long AAPL" ) && (execution.Instrument == "AAPL) do this,,,,
but the system is not accepting it..
Any clue?

Hello Dafonseca,

Thank you for your post.

The Stop Loss name, is this coming from the SetStopLoss()?

If so, this name cannot be overridden. You would want to check for the FromEntrySignal and you can place this text in a DrawText() on the chart so that you can see the order being filled clearly.

Additionally, is the same syntax that you are using in the script? Including the parenthesis?

if (execution.Name == "Long AAPL" ) && (execution.Instrument == "AAPL)

I ve tried this:

if (execution.Instrument== "GOOG")

and a error message is sayimg:

operatot '--' can not be applied to operands of type NinjaTrader.Cbi.Instrument and string..
Any clue??

when i use this:
(execution.Name == "Stop loss")
compiler accepts..

I've tried this:

if (execution.Instrument== "GOOG")

and a error message is saying:

operator '--' can not be applied to operands of type NinjaTrader.Cbi.Instrument and string.
Any clue??

Is this the direct syntax that you have inputted into the editor? The == should work but I wouldn't expect the -- to work.

Sorry. my mistake.
the message says operator "==" (as I used).

I ve tested in another strategy (same result) and I ve saved the screen to show you..
Let me know.

dafonseca,

You are getting the Instrument in this case. You need to add .MasterInstrument.Name at the end of execution.Instrument to get the name property.

if(execution.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "AAPL")
