Starting at the beginning: how to best step through code

[MH358]

Hi,

I'm somewhat frustrated with very simple NinjaScript8 'Conditions and Actions' that to me seem quite straightforward, but the Strategy Analysis clearly thinks otherwise.

How to best step through a strategy in its execution so I can see what's not going right...?

Thanks,

Mark

Hello MH358,

Thanks for opening the thread.

To watch the strategy as it executes, debugging prints must be added to the strategy to observe the values used to drive the logic in the NinjaScript Output window. It would be advised to print out what is used to evaluate your conditions outside of those conditions. This way you can see how those conditions are evaluated, why they are becoming true or false, and how you may adjust your code further.

You may also use the Strategy Builder to place prints in an empty condition set.

I have created a video describing how you can add prints to a strategy in the Strategy Builder to debug the NinjaScript code.
