Description

Will it be possible to set a string variable,
to define the Name of an order?
Example:
Input: SignalNumber(5),...
Var: Name1("");
Name1="MyBuy "+NumToString(SignalNumber,0);
    Buy (Name1 ) next bar at var0 stop 
...would show a buy order named:
"MyBuy 5"

Steps to reproduce this issue

We are launching 24 signals, (with 24 identifying numbers) on the same
chart, and it is impossible to see where each entry comes from

Very good idea, because I also use several instance of the same signal.
It is also very needed during Autotrading, in the order and position tracker.
Impossible to know which instance of the signal opened a position
(Tab:Orders, Column:Order name)
