In my case, on opening signals, WLP's "signal" indicates the strength of the signal, where higher is better (it is also the priority for my backtests). This can be useful where a Subscriber does not choose to follow all signals, because of his/her due diligence or lack of funds. This would be one more piece of information to help a Subscriber decide.
Publishers, please add your support if this would be helpful for your current or planned strategies. Thanks.

What is a "signal" - Position.Priority?

I understand your confusion. My mistake. It's "Entry Name" on the Trades tab in WLP. In my case...

Please log in to see this code.
... it's dsNN[bar - 1].ToString(), which I also use as Priority. Either one works to help a Subscriber for my strategy. I didn't know if Priority was persistent after the strategy run.
Eugene, perhaps you want to retitle this thread.

Thanks for the clarification. We'll discuss it and let you know.

We'll put this in our queue for later. Since the signal name might contain internal details that a publisher was not necessarily willing to disclose to the world, we agreed to make it an option.

I agree with, "as an option". Consider 2 options, "open" side and "close" side. I may not want to disclose my close signal name. If no choice, I would obfuscate it so only I know the meaning.
I don't get to use the word "obfuscate" very often. ;-)

Getting overloaded by options is not an option. The less is always the better for simplification and clearer user experience.
Plus, you can always choose to not attach a signal name in your system.
p.s. I use the word "obfuscate" quite often: every time I build and obfuscate extensions before releasing them. ;-)
