what is your way to put description to an indicator?

NinjaTrader has description field to each input field as well as the indicator itself. It seems MC.Net does not have that. So When I give my indicator to my friend, I had to write up a description doc outside of the indicator (like in Word).

I then found workaround by creating a string input field to store the description:

Code

		[Input]
        public string Description { get; set; }	
Description="this is a ABC indicator";

But it still has its drawback. So just wonder whether there is a better way that I didn't find out

That's correct. I think that your approach is already one of the best workarounds.

I personally always put multi-line comments in the top of the source code, assuming people look at the script's source code before using it.
