ToString() Replacement

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello Joe_T,

Thanks for your post.

As a result of this thread, several votes were added to the existing feature request SFT-477 which concerns the display name of the indicator.

Feature requests are used to track demand for a feature and are not a guarantee of implementation. If implemented the feature request would be identified in the release note of NinjaTrader8.

One of the Reasons, I want to null out the Name is that I do not want to display the complete
list of indicator inputs along with the name especially given that NT8 displays the Hex representation
of colors. Maybe there could be a separate UI input added for "Display Indicator Inputs"

Hello JerryWar,

Thanks for your post.

You can use the DisplayName method and assign a text name. This is exactly what I did with the indicator "Repeater" in the NT8 indicator downloads:

public override string DisplayName
{
get { return "RepeaterV2.1"; } // to prevent showing all parameters (60+) on the chart
}

See attached example on chart

Just as clarification, it is NOT just the name of the indicator(s) string can be changed, but also to add a user changeable "Chart Title" for the purposes of printing or taking a snapshot.

Thanks,

A key issue is that one can, for instance, change the string to "" and make it where the indicator isn't listed at the top of the chart, but this has the undesired side-effect that the indicator is depicted as a blank line in the Indicators dialog when editing the list of indicators applied to the chart.

This appears to work

public override string DisplayName
{
	 
		get { if  (State == State.SetDefaults) return "StrategyName"; else  return "";  }
  
}

That is a good idea for a work-around, thank you - still, there is no guarantee they will always do it that way so I think it would remain wise to seek a supported solution.

public override string DisplayName
{

get { if (State == State.SetDefaults) return "StrategyName"; else return ""; }

}

Very nice! This is a great solution to a perennial grievance of mine.
