Instrument.Exchange

[fercho]

Hi, how to get printed the instrument´s exchange other that "default" one?

I've several instruments on a personal list, each with it's own exchange setted, and need to print that info when backtest.

Print(Instrument.Exchange);

only prints "Default"

Thanks in advance

Hello fercho,

Likely the chart has an instrument loaded with the Default exchange selected.

Is this instrument added to the Default Instrument list?
If so, please show the Instrument drop-down from a chart so that I can see what exchange you have selected when adding this instrument to the instrument list.

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Below is a link to a video I have created to demonstrate.

I want to perform a backtest on that list, but filtering the "xetra" marked ones only.

Hi fercho,

Instrument lists cannot have exchanges applied to them directly.

Instead the exchanges are enabled on a per instrument basis.

Please include a screenshot of an instrument where you are looping through the exchanges and finding there is only one selected.

for (int i = 0; i < Instrument.MasterInstrument.Exchanges.Length; ++i)
{
	Print(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Exchanges[i].ToString());
}
