NinjaScript Output - Strategy Analyzer

Hi,

Can i receive a confirmation that someone suggested with a strategy with a lot of parameters that if you add a checkbox to not show the NS output it would run much quicker. Is this true?

Hello willthebill,

The number of public properties added to a script would not involve the script printing to the NinjaScript Output window.

If you are calling print a large number of times in your code, this can have a performance impact when running a backtest or a script in real-time.
Prints are generally used for debugging when there is an issue.
In a production environment you would want all prints suppressed or commented out. You can add a public bool property to control if the scrips is adding prints.

Note, this would not affect sluggishness in the Strategy Analyzer due to a large amount of public properties.

Thanks for clearing this up.
