Note this file is MyWaterMarksV2. If you download and import it, it will not replace the original version. You'll have to pick which one you want and can delete the original indicator.

Hello eddiekellertri,
Yes this is certainly possible.
Use Draw.TextFixed to draw the symbol and use Instrument.FullName as the string to draw. (Instrument.FullName is a string reflecting the symbol the indicator is attached to.)
I.E.
Draw.TextFixed(this, "SymbolTag", Instrument.FullName, TextPosition.BottomLeft);
Other Draw.TextFixed overloads can be found below.
If you have questions or would like some further direction creating an indicator that draws this text on a chart, please open a new thread in our NinjaScript Indicator Development forums.
