Print() help

[frogzillafx]

I am just playing around with the indicator editor and I have put Print() throughout my indicator but it doesn't write it anywhere on my screen when I apply it. I have Print("test"); in my Initialize and OnBarUpdate. Yes I am a noob. Can someone please help. Here is a snippet of my initialize.

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Print("Test");

}

Print() prints output to the Output Window. To open the Output Window go to Tools->Output Window.

Ah ok cool. Say I wanted it printed in a panel is that possible?

Yup. Please use either DrawText() or DrawTextFixed().

Awesome it worked great. I guess the rest of my programming is crap lol.

Here it is:

When I write this
DrawTextFixed("tag2",Close[0].ToString("0.00"), TextPosition.TopRight);
I get the previous bars close

When I do this one
DrawTextFixed("tag2",Close[1].ToString("0.00"), TextPosition.TopRight);
I get nothing.

Sorry for all the noob questions.

Close[0] will give you the most recent bar's close. If you have CalculateOnBarClose = true then it essentially will return the previous bar's close because the current bar has not closed yet for calculations.

Close[1] will give you the previous bar's close, but you need to watch out for the indexing. Please see this tip about this: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3170
