'Hello World' as a text file record ?

[grd974]

I wrote down this code after msdn library, compiled it as an indicator, put it over a chart, ran Market Replay but it did not write to any file.

public static void Main()
{
string path = @"C:\TEMP\MyTest.txt";
if (!File.Exists(path))
{
using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path))
{
sw.WriteLine("Hello World");
}
}
}

Where is the error ?

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Try putting it in the OnBarUpdate() section.

[grd974]

That works !
By the way, do you know how I code the file closing ?
I tried sw.close() but I got a compilation error.

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Try sw.Close() with a capital C.

Hello Nilesh Patel,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

You may view the following link to our Support Forums that gives a sample code that you can run to write to a file values.
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3475

To get the values for each time frame you can apply the Indicator to each one individually or create a Multi-Time Frame code. For an example on a Multi-Time Frame code you can view SampleMultiTimeFrame strategy by going to Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Strategies and double click on the strategy.

You may also view our Help Guide that goes Multi-Time Fame at the following link.
