SampleFileReadWrite Questions

[sgordet]

Two questions:
1. Regarding this code:
// This is the output string that is written to the text file. 'Environment.NewLine' feeds the file to a new line for further writing.
string ohlc = ToDay(Time[0]) + " " + Open[0] + " " + High[0] + " " + Low[0] + " " + Close[0] + Environment.NewLine;

ToDay is an integer value and the Open, High, Low and Close are doubles. Why don't they have to be explicitly converted to strings?

2. When all of the lines are written to the file for the day, I don't see where the file is closed before the text file is opened for reading.

Thanks,
Stephen

Stephen, the compiler helps you out doing an implicit conversion here for int and double to the string.

The file is written and then closed automatically by the command, same would go for the reading operation - this is in contrast to the more advanced StreamWriter / Reader examples we have.

All but the last candle?

Hello NT Support.

When I apply the indicator to a Daily chart (I'm using Kinetic EOD data), it outputs ohlc data for all but the last candle on the chart.

I'm new to Ninja so please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Bertrand.

I hadn't touched that setting until you pointed it out. It was set to True. I've set it to "False" and now it's fine.

Thank you!
