Retrieve value of Instrument selected on Chart Trader window

[marcwkm1]

Hi, I have a custom indicator that displays the tick offset from a horizonal line drawn by the user to the current market price. The horizontal line will also calculate the number of ticks in difference multiplied by the order qty in the chart trader window to display the total risk in dollar value. The problem that i am facing is my chart has 2 data series, MNQ overlay on NQ. Under the chart trader window, I have the ability to select either NQ or MNQ to enter a trade on. However, the indicator is only able to select the initial instrument selected, for eg. MNQ is by default, and when I select NQ, the indicator does not update on the fly. Not sure if there are any codes to resolve this.

Hello marcwkm1,

Thank you for your post.

You can monitor the instrument selector to get the current selection when it is updated. I'm attaching a simple indicator that demonstrates how to find the Instrument Selector and subscribe to its SelectionChanged event. This will allow you to get the currently selected instrument.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
