NoPrint Property

[jerimac2]

Having a single Output window can be confusing, when diagnosing or tracking multiple strategies simultaneously. Going through a strategy to comment out all the Print statements, recompiling, and rerunning the strategy takes time and can lead to errors.

It would be helpful to have a NoPrint = true property that could be set in the Initialize() handler, or even in the Strategy setup dialog to suppress all Print statements in that strategy. One could quickly choose whether a strategy prints on a given run, in the same way that one sets TraceOrders or ExitOnClose.

What I do: Define a DebugPrint method in your strategy/indicator, call DebugPrint instead of Print, and selectively call Print or nothing in DebugPrint there based on a boolean Debug property/parameter in your strategy/indicator.

Thanks, Anagoge. That works like a champ, and it's every bit as easy to manage as the feature I was requesting. Now I don't have to wait for NT 8.5.

Hi Anagoge ,

Yes this is a good workaround solution .
How you pass the debugText string to be printed to the DebugPrint() method (function) ?

private void DebugPrint()
{
if (Debug == true)
{
Print(Time+DebugText);
}
else return;
}
