Using Tab Name Variables

Tabs throughout NinjaTrader allow for the use of pre-defined variables which will dynamically populate tab names with relevant labels, such as the instrument name, period, or account selected in the tab. To use one of the variables listed in the table below, first open the window's Properties dialogue, then enter your chosen variable in the "Tab Name" field.

TabVariables1

1) The variable "@DATASERIES" has been entered in the "Tab Name" field of the Chart Properties window.

2) The "@DATASERIES" variable populates the instrument full name and period in the selected tab.

Notes:

•These variables are case sensitive, meaning that "@instrument" is not the same as "@INSTRUMENT."

•More than one variable can be used together in a single tab name. For example, using "@FUNCTION @ACCOUNT" would list the tab's function and selected account together.

@INSTRUMENT	Displays the name of the primary instrument displayed in the tab	Level II, Time & Sales, Basic Entry, FX Board, FX Pro, SuperDOM, Order Ticket, Charts
