You cannot get the instrument name until the script is run on a chart. Go ahead and declare the string but do not populate until State.DataLoaded in the OnStateChange() method.

Hello hamdan,

NinjaTrader.Cbi.Instrument.FullName.get is not a method in that namespace, class, or property.

You may be wanting Instrument.GetInstrument().

Below is a link to the help guide.

is possible to get instrument name from chart and using it

before State.DataLoaded

or in namespace, class, or property

thanks for help

Hello hamdan,

Apologies, I've edited my post above. That method actually does not rely on the NinjaScript provided Instrument object, but is instead a method of the Instrument class and can be used with the Addon approach.

Below is a link to an example that uses the method call in an Addon.

hamdan Are you creating a Strategy, an Indicator, or an AddOn? If a Strategy or an Indicator, see here https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...instrument.htm and here https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_fullname.htm. On the basis of your filename, I suspect an Indicator. The links document what is possible: use Instrument.Fullname (it's a string that is exactly what you are asking for) from State.DataLoaded onwards.

Thanks.
