How to print more information onto the output window?

[Don22Trader1]

Hello,

My strategy calculates on each tick and runs on a 30 minute time period.
The strategy only works for the first 30 minutes of each day. When I run this strategy on a backtest on one day of data, (say: Start Time = 11/15/2021, End Time = 11/15/2021), so much information is printed on the output that it says:

"You have reached the maximum threshold of the NinjaScript Output window. Some of your output messages have been suppressed." I realize that the output window has a character limit.

Because of this, the output only has information printed from 11/15/2021 3:00 PM to 11/15/2021 4:00 PM so I can't see what happens when the strategy actually performs actions @ 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM which is suppressed.

How can I capture and save all of the info that is suppressed and printed on the output window?

If you wrote your output to a file, there would be no limit.

Hello Don22Trader1,

Thanks for your post.

The Output Window is limited and has a maximum number of lines.

If a large amount of data is being tested, I would recommend instead writing this to a file to avoid the maximum number of lines allowed in the Output Window.

Below is a link to a reference sample that demonstrates writing data to a file.

As well as a link to an example script that writes condition information to a file.

Brandon,
How do i limit the prints to once per trade instead of on every bar update?

You could use OnExecutionUpdate to detect when a new trade is executed and do your logging there...
