Print (to console) in OnStartUp()

[MXASJ]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to run a print command in the OnStartUp() to print something to the output window only once, when a Strategy starts. For example:

PrintWithTimeStamp("Strategy XYZ has started");

I've tried a few different things and I'm not having any luck.

Am I overlooking something?

Thanks!

Hmm, worked for me in a quick test here - is the strategy enabled as you apply it to the charts?

Thanks Bertrand,

I can't even get it to compile...


Initialize()
...............

OnStartUp()
{
//Insert future code here
}

PrintWithTimeStamp("My Test");

OnBarUpdate()
..............

Can you show me the quick test code you used?

Thanks!

You're Print is outside the OnStartUp() -

OnStartUp()
{
PrintWithTimeStamp("My Test");
}

Doh!

I tried everything but that including if statements...

Thank you.

Looks like it TimeStamps at the first bar loaded in the strategy, but I can use that.
