How to get name of Input series from inside OnBarUpdate ?

[balltrader]

Indicator A calls indicator SMA, and uses a series named "MidPrice" as the Input to the SMA

I want to use a Print() statement inside the SMA indicator if it's Input Series name contains "MidPrice"

Is there a special Reflection way to get access to the Input's Properties, to get the Name of the series which is passed into the Indicator?

Intellisense offers

Input.GetType()

and that has a lot of Properties and Methods, but I don't know which one to try, and I searched the forums but could not find any examples.

Thank you.

Hello balltrader,

Unfortunately, there would not be a method or property for this and using reflection would be undocumented and unsupported.

This thread will remain open for any community members that know of and would like to share unsupported code.


If you are trying to get different behavior based on different plots as the input series, it might be easier to just add an enum input the user can select.
