Print DataSeries Chart Style & Write .txt

[kabott]

Hello, i have 2 issues im trying to solve, fairy simple i think but wasn't able to find an answer, this r my questions:

1: how do i get to print the chart "bar style" meaning Minute, Renko, Range, etc?


2: if i wanted it to write the previous result on an .txt, how would i do that? i downloaded the "SampleStreamWriter" example and been trying to make it work but failed.


something like this?

#region Variables

private string path = Cbi.Core.UserDataDir.ToString() + "D:\test.txt";
private System.IO.StreamWriter sw;

protected override void Initialize()
{

sw.WriteLine( );

Hello,

1) You can user BarsPeriod to print the PeriodType or PeriodValue you are using:

2) Yes, SampleStreamWriter should help you get started.

Please try moving your WriteLine to the OnBarUpdate method.

Hi Matthew

So far i have this:

Print( Instrument.FullName + " │ "+ BarsPeriod.Id.ToString() +" │ " + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString( ) +" │ "+ GetType().Name +" │ "+ Time[0] );//

and i get this:

$EURUSD │ Final1 │ 26 │ KBT_Hot_Zones_1 │ 16/08/2012 03:50:46 a.m.

Nothing about the chart type, what im I missing?

2- Whould you point me to an easy explained tutorial on "StreamWriter " since i really cant start with the indicator, i dont understand were each thing goes

thank you very much


BTW, im using RangeAlt and Renko bars

I tried standard Range bars and got the correct name, must be the "RangeAlt" Bars are named "Final1" , anyways i got that solved
