Working with the console

[parador42]

last coding I did was APL and Fortran 77 about 30 years ago so...

Is it possible to clear the output screen?

Does NT support Console.Write and Console.Read?

I tried one of the examples in the tutorials pages that you recommeneded but have nothing in the output screen

#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
namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{
publicclass Test1 : Strategy
{
privatevoid Main()
{
Print("Hello World");
}
}
}

I'm sure it's a simple mistake on my part but can you see what I've done wrong and why I get no output?

Hello,

You can clear the output window with ClearOutputWindow():

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/ClearOutputWindow.html

To Print() try using this code:

#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

namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{

[Description("Enter the description of your strategy here")]
publicclass Printing : Strategy
{
#region Variables

privateint myInput0 = 1;
#endregion
protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
}
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
Print("hello world");
}
