How do i access Symbol Info fields such as Name1 and Point Value in the the Screener tool, Strategy script and in the MM tool?
e.g. these 2 functions don't work -
type = Symbol.Name1;
a = Symbol.PointValue;

Pl advise sample code for these function calls ..

thanks

MM tool uses C# as programming language while the screener and the simulator uses the QuantShare scripting language.

In QS language:
a = name1();

// Point value cannot be accessed directly. You need to create a custom C# function in Tools -> Create Functions
double a = cFunctions.SymbolInfo.PointValue;
