tester journal not showing print("
Must be you
ray2955:
Your topic is not showing any print either :)
Sorry while I was starting - hit the wrong button.
Anyway I have 2 problems that has me stuck can really use some help.
1) I put print statements in my code to tell me if it is progressing and to show info.
The tester is trading but my print statements are not showing the progression of the running code
only one print shows in the jounal tab; again it trades the one indicator.
2) I have another indicator from code base that after tinkering,I cant get the Icustom to show values.
This is indicator 2 ; Please can really use some help here is the code.

Sorry while I was starting - hit the wrong button.
Anyway I have 2 problems that has me stuck can really use some help.
1) I put print statements in my code to tell me if it is progressing and to show info.
The tester is trading but my print statements are not showing the progression of the running code
only one print shows in the jounal tab; again it trades the one indicator.
Did you check the log file ?
If what is referred to as log file is the expert tab, it does not update for strat - tester and if its another please show me where.
You know if I remove the new bar code all the print statements appear in the journal tab,it is confusing and the tester slows to a micro movement.
I check the new bar code looks good and comment out all but one print statement past new bar and
its the same it shows that there is no new bar but trades on new bar. I made up a small expert to test the new bar and the print stops at no new bar.
Here is test expert. Thanks for any help.

No, the journal updates for the Strategy Tester, I mean the file . . . right click in the Journal pane and then click open, this will open the folder containing the tester log files.
If what is referred to as log file is the expert tab, it does not update for strat - tester and if its another please show me where.
Well I opened the tester log file and got - this folder is empty.
I tried running the tester several times and same thing.
I don't know how to get this folder to update,any suggestion?

Probably you installed MT4 in a Program Files folder and your log files are in the virtual store . . . search the forum for UAC . . . or simply re-install outside of Program Files, for example: C:\MT4Installs\broker_name\
Well I opened the tester log file and got - this folder is empty.
I tried running the tester several times and same thing.
I don't know how to get this folder to update,any suggestion?
