Debugging with Print

[Zeos6]

Hi,

I am trying to debug an indicator code using Print statements. I have a number of custom methods and when I try to use Print I get the following error message:

Indicator XXX.cs An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.IndicatorBase.Print(string) ' CS0120 - click for info

Is there a way to use Print for debugging outside its scope?

Incidentally, I also tried using System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print. This compiles but can't find the output.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Printed outputs within NinjaTrader can be found by going to tools -> outputwindow

unfortunately, you won't be able to print from outside the indicator

You will need to use the following from within the script
Print("debug text here");

I tend to favor the use of Drawing objects over print statements as this allows me to see the exact point of the crash on the chart visually. (drawn objects will remain on the chart up until the crash point)

For external debugging you could go the Visual studio route: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._debugging.htm
It says the express version isn't supported but I believe I've been able to get the newest express version to work with it.

Let me know if I can further assist.

Thanks Lance. I am aware of how to use the Print statement from inside an indicator and I am aware of debugging gin VS. I was hoping it would be a simple thing to perhaps instantiate Print to work outside an indicator.
