Instrument name

[pman777]

How do I get the full instrument name, including the expiry (eg., "NQ 12-18")?

Thanks

Hello pman777,

Thank you for the post.

You can access the Instrument, along with the MasterInstrument from a script using the Instrument object.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/instrument.htm

The Instrument object would be the instrument that is selected whereas the Instrument.MasterInstrument is the main definition of that instrument (NQ). For Futures to include the expiry, you want the Instrument.FullName.

Print(Instrument.FullName);

I look forward to being of further assistance.
