NinjaScript editor: debugging instruments like Watch List, BreakPoints, Trace

[fx.practic]

Please, add to NinjaScript editor just simple instruments for debugging.
At least Watch List (for variables values), BreakPoints, Trace.

Even MetaTrader have debugging features for many years.

Thank You.

Hello fx.pratic,

You may use Visual Studios to debug you NinjaScript code if you would like that has these features in them. Here is a link to our Help Guide that goes over step by step on how this can be done.

I'll try now, but You suggest to install 450 MB software (Visual Studios) to use 50 MB software (NT).

Hello fx.practic,

If you want the ability to add WatchLists, BreakPoints, etc... that would be the best way to do it as Visual Studios is quite a powerful debugger. The install size maybe a bit larger but most computers now days will have plenty of room.

There are built in ways to debug your code like using the Print() method, set TraceOrders to true for order submissions, or using Try-Catch Blocks and then opening up the Tools -> Output Windows to see the results.

Here is a thread that goes over the Print and TraceOrders method that you may view.

This thread has a reference sample on how to use a Try-Catch Block that you may view as well.
