    Change Symbol Description on disk

    Good Morning:

    How do I update the description for an instrument to the Ninjatrader 8 database via Ninjascript?

    If i use the following it updates in memory and stays in memory until NT8 is closed, but when you re-open NT8 the description reverts back to whatever it was previously.

    Example:

    Symbol AABB is load into chart and description is blank in the Instrument Panel.

    Execute the following
    Instrument.MasterInstrument.Description = "This Text";

    Look at Instruments and description shows This Text.

    Once NT8 is closed and re-opened it is back to blank.

    So how do I get the description to write to disk?

    Thank-you. Jeffrey

    Hello TraderJesse,

    Setting the instruments description through NinjaScript is not supported. I will put in a feature request for this.

    Please let us know if you need further assistance.
