TraceOrders and Debuggin in Production Strategy Code

[birdog]

Hey:

Is there any drawbacks to continuing to leave or have enabled TraceOrders and Debugging on in the code in production Strategies that are used for real live money or real live sim trading?

Please let me know pros and or any cons (if any).
Thanks...

Hello birdog,

The Pros are that you will have a detailed log of what your strategy is doing and all of the debug statements that you have written.

The Cons are that using the printing information to the Output window like TraceOrders and Print() will use some memory. Most of the time this is not too much of an issue using it in real-time but can get taxing when using in a Backtest.

You may want to keep your TraceOrders and Debugging info if you are not 100% comfortable with your strategy.

Let us know if we can be any further assistance.
