Display indicators name in a Log, but not to display it on a chart.

[emuns]

How can I not to display indicators label on a chart, but display indicators name in a Log when there is some error message? I mean how can I create something to do that?

Thank you

Hello emuns,

You could likely use the DisplayName override for that use case:

public override string DisplayName
{

        get { if  (State != State.Realtime) return Name; else  return "";  }

}

This would only clear it for realtime, otherwise other states will have a name. You could do other logic there depending on your requirements.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello Jesse,

that´s great, it works! Thank you.

I wonder if it would be even possible to improve it? I would like to display name of the indicator in Drawing Objects > General > Attach to. The field is empty now when I click on some drawing object generated by an indicator...

Thank you

Hello emuns,

Thanks for the post.

I took a look at this and see that while the name is not present in the drawing tools AttachTo it is present in the Orders AttachTo menu. I will make a report for the difference there an see what development has to say about that. If I can provide a further update here I will reply back.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
