Print does not create text in Output Window

[Gwaihir]

Hi,

new to the NT, so what am I missing here? None of the print statements below creates any output in the Output Window during a backtest run (which creates the expected results).

Best regards
Gwaihir

Gwaihir, welcome to the forums at NT - did you open the output windows before you started the strategy / backtest?

Any errors being thrown to the log tab?

Yes

No

Ah, unlocking the code implies manually compiling it. Otherwise changes are ignored when the strategy is run. A tiny reminder like "strategy being backtested is not the one last saved" would be helpful though.

Correct and thanks for the suggestion Gwaihir.
