Printing to output window

[aafwintb]

Good Afternoon/Morning;

I am trying to print data to the output window.

My code is as follows:

#region Using declarations
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using NinjaTrader.Data;
using NinjaTrader.Indicator;
using NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart;
using NinjaTrader.Strategy;
#endregion

// This namespace holds all strategies and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{
/// <summary>
/// Enter the description of your strategy here
/// </summary>
[Description("Enter the description of your strategy here")]
public class CSVPrinter : Strategy
{
#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
// User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
#endregion

/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the strategy and is called once before any strategy method is called.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protected override void OnStartUp()
{
//Print your header
Print("Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close");
}
/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Print your data for each bar
Print("," + Time[0] + "," + Open[0] + "," + High[0] + "," + Low[0] + "," + Close[0]);
}

#region Properties
[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public int MyInput0
{
get { return myInput0; }
set { myInput0 = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
#endregion
}
}

However I get this as my printout:
Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close
29/12/2011 21:00:00,1.2937,1.2965,1.2937,1.2964
29/12/2011 22:00:00,1.2963,1.2964,1.2958,1.2961
29/12/2011 23:00:00,1.2961,1.2962,1.2948,1.2951
30/12/2011 00:00:00,1.2951,1.2955,1.2942,1.2953

But I am trying to get this:
Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close
29/12/2011, 21:00:00,1.2937,1.2965,1.2937,1.2964
29/12/2011, 22:00:00,1.2963,1.2964,1.2958,1.2961
29/12/2011, 23:00:00,1.2961,1.2962,1.2948,1.2951
30/12/2011, 00:00:00,1.2951,1.2955,1.2942,1.2953

How do I get it to print the comma between the data and the time.?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello aafwintb,
Please use the below code to print as per your format.

Print(Time[0].ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") + "," + Time[0].ToString("HH:mm:ss") + "," + Open[0] + "," + High[0] + "," + Low[0] + "," + Close[0]);

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

where does it print during live testing

a related issue, when running S. Analyzer the Print goes to out, where does it go when doing realtime testing?

[NinjaTrader_Joydeep]

Hello anwar,
The Print function will print out the logs in the Output window (Tools>Output Window) whether the code is running live or via the Strategy Analyzer.

Hi, I want to print to output window data from strategy analyzer. This data are from Periods - Day of week - Cum Profit, DD, % Win and Avg. Trade. Can anybody help me? Thanks

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

Hi Igipop,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the forums!

You can use Print from the Strategy Analyzer using the same Print() method.

Additionally, you can use StreamWriter.IO to write to a separate text file from the back test.
Below is a reference sample on using StreamWriter -

Please note that printing in the Strategy Analyzer can take a longer time to process the strategy when calculating and may see NInjaTrader going into a Non-Responsive state because of this.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Sorry, but I don´t understand how I can use Print() method from strategy analyzer. Can you post some example for it? Are you think about grid? I use
Print("Total maximal drawdown " + Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency.D rawDown); it work ok, but i don know how can I use
Print("statistics by day of week " + Performance.AllTrades.ByDayOfWeek); but it is not correct because result in output window is: statistics by day of week System.Collections.SortedList

Igipop,

Your print statements will be printed to the Output window, Tools -> Output Window.

What do you expect to be printed out from the print statements?

[igipop]

I want to print to output window :
monday - cum. profit, DD, % win, avg. trade
tuesday - cum. profit, DD, % win, avg. trade
wednesday - cum. profit, DD, % win, avg. trade
thursday - cum. profit, DD, % win, avg. trade
friday - cum. profit, DD, % win, avg. trade

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

Igipop,

These values are available from the Periods Tab after you run a backtest. You can right click inside the window -> Grid -> Print, to print out those values rather than having them print to the Output Window and not drain computer resources running those print statements during the backtest.

[igipop]

ok I Know it, but when I run oprimization in strategy analyzer I have around 200 results and I need work with this data. then I must click on tab Periods -> Day of week then right click grid -> export to excel and I must do it 200 times. I want export these data to file. is it posible? I have already one question. when I made optimization and I save this data after reload these data I see only basic results of any results but when I click on tab Periods -> Day of week I dont see any results. So I need run optimization again. Excuse my english .

Igipop,

The only other way would be to use the StreamWriter.IO that I mentioned in post #9.

I am not aware of away to export the grid from the periods tab via script.
