FriendlyName

Hi,
My list of personal indicators is very large. Is there a way to use a friendly name so that I can see Indicator0001BusyPrice as Indicator00001_BusyPrice?
thanks,
David

Hello David,

Thanks for your post.

You could set the Name property of the indicator to be "Indicator00001_BusyPrice" in OnStateChange() when the State == State.SetDefaults.

Note that indicators will display in the Indicators window based on the Name property that is set in the State.Defaults section of code in the script.

Hi Brandon,
Thanks,
I was hoping i could find a way to see Indicator00001_BusyPrice in the ninjascript editor indicators window.

Load Indicator0001BusyPrice into a simple editor, such as Notepad++, find/replace all occurrences of Indicator0001BusyPrice in the code with Indicator0001_BusyPrice, save as Indicator0001_BusyPrice. Then delete the original Indicator0001BusyPrice.

Hello David,

Thanks for your notes.

eDanny has provided some great information on this topic.

The indicator class name would need to be changed and any other use of that indicator name should be changed along with the .cs file name.
