Clear output window

[Leeroy_Jenkins]

I want to clear output window at start of every analyzer iteration. But the following code doesn't work:

if (CurrentBar == 1)
{
PrintTo = PrintTo.OutputTab2;
ClearOutputWindow();
PrintTo = PrintTo.OutputTab1;
ClearOutputWindow();
}

Hello Leeroy_Jenkins,

Thank you for your post.

The code provided is working for me when placed at the very beginning of OnBarUpdate(), before any CurrentBar checks that return back out of that method. Where within OnBarUpdate() have you placed this code, and is anything before it? If so, try placing it at the very start of OnBarUpdate().

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Oh, I see. It was after BarsRequiredToTrade. Thanks.

Hi Leeroy_Jenkins,
I always put it in State.DataLoaded and conditionally avoid printing to the Output Window while being in Optimization (checking Category == Category.Optimize), even if Printing is activated in general. If you do so, Print() for each individual iteration is still available, but only 1) after the Optimization is completed and 2) the respective iteration is selected from the list of Optimation results.

That's a great suggestion. Less CPU time. Thanks.
