Accessing the logger from an outside class

[blar58]

HI all

I would like to have access to the NinjaTrader Logger but in an outside class for debugging purposes.

Until now I don't have found a way to do it ...

Hi blar,

We have available Log() method which writes information to the log.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/log.htm

If you're looking to read from this, the log files are labeled according to the date in:
My Documents\NinjaTrader\log\log.YYYYMMDD.txt

Today's would be log.20110321.txt

These samples can help with reading information from a file:

Yes I know the Log() and I am using it with a Ninja method.

The problem is when I try to access this method from a new class I don't have access to it..

Thank you for the reply. It won't necessarily work outside of the NinjaScript event handlers and methods. It's not recommended to use this for debugging purposes as it can significantly slow down NT startup when there are many lines. It's better to write to a file or use the output window for debugging.
