How to get current instrument name in Performance Metrics class?

[itgoesbrrrrrr]

Hey there everyone,

Is there a way on how to get the current instrument name? If there is, what is the code for that? I tried looking for relevant information in Performance Metrics section in NinjaTrader8 documentation but apparently, there's no information about Instrument name being called in Performance Metrics class.

Hi, thanks for posting.

OnAddTrade() has a Trade object given to it e.g. Print(trade.Entry.Instrument); This would be the only place the Instrument can be read in a performance metric script.

Kind regards,

Hey NinjaTrader_ChrisL,

Thank you! Also, one more question. Is it possible to get the current instrument name and put it in DisplayAttirbute's Name? I tried doing it but it says that Name in DisplayAttribute should be static or constant.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

The declarations are defined at compile time, so that will not be possible.

Kind regards,
