ClearOutputWindow() not working

[savekad]

Hi,

Is there any special way to use ClearOutputWindow() ?

It doesn't work even with the simplest configuration:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
Plot0.Set(Close[0]);
Print("123");
ClearOutputWindow();
}

The result is an Output window full of "123"s.

Please try on real-time data processing only, so for example start your OnBarUpdate() off with if (Historical) return; then update the indicator. It should remove the test print every bar going forward then.

I tried setting the end date for today and to use a zen-fire real-time data feed.
The method still doesn't work.

What should I do?

Can you please attach the script you tested or send to us at support so we could give it a run here for you?

Thanks

[savekad]

Of course. See attached code.

Please try without the historical data part, so if (Historical) return; added at the OnBarUpdate() start.

The function works properly when using real-time data or alternatively - reply data after deleting any previous existed historical data.

Why is it like that?
Is there a way to use the function on historical data?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

I don't think so, but will check into with development and then update this thread.

OK, thanks.

Update: this would be expected for the ClearOutputWindow() - the prints itself would be cached on historical data use, so the clear is working but since nothing has been committed to the output window (which happens at the end of historical data processing) - there would be nothing to clear at the point of the historical call.

[savekad]

So basically the prints are kind of stuck in a cache mode and don't make it through to the commit stage because the end of historical data (where the commit stage should occur) never arrives when using historical data only. Am I right?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You are correct in understanding, thus dynamically working with this command on historical data would not be possible.

new in ninjatrader

is that it is possible to import data from ADVFN or excel for use in ninja trader

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Welcome to our fourms here - yes, that is possible - please see our info on the import process and expected formats here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../importing.htm

In the future we would appreciate if you could open a new thread for your issue.

Thanks,
