You can specify label and comment in ExecuteMarketOrder, PlaceLimitOrder and PlaceStopOrder methods. If you would like to modify label and comment after that please post your idea to vote.spotware.com.

Hi there:

Are "comments" displayed anywhere? They don't appear in our "History" or "Events" tabs when backtesting.

Can you confirm if they are only displayed in the "Log" tab when we do the following:

Position p = Positions.Find(myLabel);
Print(p.Comment);

??? Or somewhere else?

Thank you

Hi FireMyst,

They are displayed in the Positions tab.

Thank you for your reply.

It would be a nice feature to have the "Comments column" on the "History" or "Events" tab too because it would be nice to see comments we had against positions from x-weeks or x-months ago.

Otherwise, the only way to view any past comments, a user has to scroll back through the entire log history (if they actually wrote comments to the "Log" tab), which appears to be the only way to do it, correct?

If so, it's kind of pointless from a usability perspective that we can only see comments we made while a position is open. :-)

Thank you.

Hi FireMyst,

Thanks for the suggestion. I would advise you to post it in Suggestions section so that we can find them all in one place.

Best Regards,

Also searched for this, but the info in this thread seems to suggest this feature is not available.  Actually, if you right-click on the headers in the History tab, you can select additional columns, including one to show comments.

You can find comments here (if you don't see the column, you need to right click and select it to show):

Or printed here in Logs as a result of the print statement:

If you don't have the "log" tab, you need to be under "automate".
