The full name of the security can be retrieved in AFL using FullName() function.
In order to add such information to the built-in Price chart, we need to do the following:
- Click on the chart with right mouse button
- Choose Edit Formula from the context menu
- Modify the Title definition line, the built-in code contains:
_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%)", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) ));
We need to change it into:
_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - " + FullName() + " - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} " + "Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) Vol %.0f", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ), V ) );
- To apply these changes choose Tools->Apply Indicator from the menu.
If we have Full name information imported into the database and visible in Symbol->Information window, the updated chart title will show it next to the ticker name.
