Writing to a file?

[rbeckmann05]

Hello, I would like to write the following to a CSV after backtesting: GUID, profit from trade, time in trade, bars in trade. I figured I could just use trace orders for profit, and the other three are easy, however I have no idea how to go about writing to a CSV with ninjascript. Ideally it would create the file to begin, then add every trade throughout the backtest process. Is this something that can be done?

Hello rbeckmann05,

Thank you for your post.

You can write to a text file using StreamWriter. The formatting of the text file can also make for easy importing into Microsoft Excel in the future.

Below is a sample script that demonstrates using StreamWriter.
