Show properties with names in strategy window other than in code

Hi everybody
I have a strategy with some properties for user. In the properties window my properties are shown with their main name in the code, but they are not understandable for the users.

How can i change the name in properties window?

Hello amiralimadadi,

Thanks for your post.

By default the variable name would be used in the properties window. You can change what is viewed by using a display attribute: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...yattribute.htm

Here is an example of use:
[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(Name=" Crossing MA PriceType", Description="Select price Type (Close, high, Low, etc.)", Order=2, GroupName="Crossing Moving Average (fast)")]
public PriceType fastPriceType
{ get; set; }


In the indicators parameters the user would see "Crossing MA PriceType" instead of the variable name of fastPriceType. Also, when the mouse is hovered over the displayed name, the tool tip would show the description, "Select price Type (Close, high, Low, etc.)" which is used to aid the user in understanding what the input is for.
