How to make an entry Signal Name follow a formula

[Austiner87]

Hi NT8,

EnterShortLimit(Convert.ToInt32(ContractsCurrency) , GetCurrentAsk(0), @"2");

In the above code, my signal name is 2 - at the end. I am looking for a way to make this name from a formula, so I don't have to code a separate entry for, say, 2-10, I can just say += VariableForLastTradeSignal. Etc.

This matters because I want my exit conditions to be variable based on the entry. Thank you!

Hello Austiner87,

The signal name is just a string so you can use any means you wanted to generate a string value that equals the name you wanted. If you were just using a number you could use an int variable there and call VariableForLastTradeSignal.ToString() on the variable to make it into a string. You would have to work out any logic that increments or otherwise keeps track of the number for the signal name.
