Ninjascript Output 2?

[AssIsChubby]

I have a second tab on my ninjascript output window, Is there a way to use the second output or is it just there to tease me?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Please see the help guide here (examples are shown in help guide): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...8/?printto.htm

This latest link is also broken.

Yep. I see that it's now broken, too.

1. A user can go to the NinjaTrader Desktop Platform Guide:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpguides/nt8/

2. Click the Search Link in the upper left and enter PrintTo in the search box.
3. For me the first result was the right one.

In the NinjaScript of an indicator or strategy you can set which console window, Output1 or Output2, the use of Print("your text") will output to.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{      
  if (State == State.SetDefaults)
  {
    Name = "Sample PrintTo Indicator #2";
    Description = "@Used to Print updates to Output 2";

    //Set this scripts Print() calls to the second output tab
    PrintTo = PrintTo.OutputTab2;
  }      
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{                  
  Print("This script will print messages to Output Tab 2");      
}​

For some reason, when you paste the links from the Help Guide into the forum, they break. They do work if you click on them, or copy them straight to a browser, but I think they're being reformatted or they contain a redirect that the forum software doesn't work with.

Long-standing issue, one of many with the Forum software. Typically, the pasting/formatting of links that fail have an extra space character introduced somewhere in the link. Been like that for a looooong time. Sadly. Just another piece of third-party software that needs fixing.

Thanks.
