Using this idea as a basis, is there anyway using C# or the PowerLanguage.NET API to reference the market scanner group names/IDs?

What I mean is, is there a variable/function that gives us the name of the market scanner group that the symbol being referenced is in?


Thanks in advance!

Hello aallstar,

You can get only symbol parameters. There is no way to get any information regarding the market scanner group names/IDs at the moment. That is possible to transfer certain values through the study inputs.
In one of the next versions of MC .Net that will be possible to get the scanner row number from the code.

Henry,

I agree, MC needs this function.

For traders who want to auto-trade a portfolio based on different asset classes, we need some way of referencing the different scanner groups.

Then we can code rules such as: no more than 25% of the portfolio value to be invested in any one group. This allows us to prevent over exposure to any one particular asset class/group (i.e. bonds, equity, commodity, FX etc, etc)...

Until MC offers this function, are you aware of any work around using MC.net?

STAR_Trader, it is already in my post above
