Name not displayed

[Danila]

Hello.
I'm getting strange behavior for which I can't find an explanation.
Variable initialization "Name" of the strategy in the default block.

    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Name = "B.strategy_58";
                .....
            }​

then in the History block, I try to call this "Name", but it always prints an empty string.
Also, when activating the strategy, I see that only the strategy's random ID is printed in the output window, and the name is not displayed.


Do you have any idea how to explain this?

Hello Danila,

Thanks for your post.

When a strategy is enabled with the Label property left blank, the strategy name will not appear in the NinjaScript Output window.

If you want the strategy name to appear in the Output window, you would need to make sure that the Label field is not left blank when enabling your strategy.

See this video demonstrating this behavior: https://brandonh-ninjatrader.tinytak...NV8yMDI1MzUyMA

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hello Brandon.
Thank you for your quick response and video.
Yes, you are right, my label is empty. this fixed the output.

Although I confess, for me it does not look logical.
Since I write code by hand and as a result I expect some kind of behavior.
I initialize the Name and expect to receive this Name in the code for some logic.
but it turns out I'm dependent on filling some kind of strategy window.
