Clear the journal programmatically

[futures_track]

Can I programmatically clear the StrategyTester journal on the start of my backtest run?

Thanks.

Not with mql. With WINAPI call if you know/find the needed command(s).

What to do ?

Doesn't work for me.. the daily .log file remains locked after the tester run.

why not just create a .bat file to delete files and execute it before you start the backtest?
