Alerts and Prints not working?

[timmbbo]

I'm having difficult with Alerts and Prints not apparently working. I'd like to get this output information to debug my script. As an example, a section of my code:

if (RSI(RSIPeriod,Smooth).Avg[0] >= 70 && Falling(Stochastics(DPeriod, KPeriod, Smooth).D) == true ) {

BackColorAll = Color.Red;
Alert("MyAlert0", Priority.High, "Alert1", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
PrintWithTimeStamp("message 1");

}

The background turns red, as expected. Then, I'd be expecting some sort of dialog window to come up for the Alert and Print, but I get nothing. Thoughts? Thanks,

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your post.

The Alert() method will output its message to the alerts window. The alerts window is not a pop-up type. You would need to open it and keep it open to see any new alerts. You open the alerts window through the Ninjatrader control center via File>new>Alerts You will only get one alerts window and all alerts generated will display on the alerts window.

The print statement will only print to the "output" window. Prior to running the indicator, you will need to open the output window from the NinjaTrader control center via Tools>output window. Reference: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...tools_menu.htm
