Print function

[dvercher]

Hello,

I have a question about the Print function in NT. Let's say I create these variables:
-entry for the entry price.
-exit for the exit price
-stop fot the stop loss

It would be something like:

Print(entry+";"+exit+";"+stop);

When doing a backtest, will I have this information in the Output window? If yes, which steps should I do? Just do the backtest and then go to the output window to see if the information is there?

Thanks

Sincerely

Hello,

Yes, the Print() function will work during backtesting. You do not need to do anything different than if the strategy was running against the live market.

Calling Print() in a backtest will print this information to the Output window

Thank you for the quick reply, I am a little confused, I mean when I test a strategy for example in a 10 years period, and I go to Strategy < Backtest.

Then I wait for the results and finally I go to the Output Window for getting the informaton of the Print function. Is that right?

Thanks

Yes, the results will be displayed on the output window as the back test runs. You may want to try adding some Time[0] prints to get clarification on how this is working.

Yes, that would be perfect, so I could check the day and time and see if it is doing the calculations correctly.

Can you give me an example of a Time(0) prints? so I could know the day and time or just the day.

Thanks

Hello,

You can Print the time just by using:

Print(Time[0]);
