Where are the logs saved as shown in the OPT-window?

Postby rainworm » 13 May 2012

I want to parse the logs with an external application, so I'll be informed in case of errors.

Where are those logs saved to (which file or into the database)? I'm speaking of the logs as shown in the 'Order and Position Tracker'-window on the tab 'logs'.

rainworm,

Order and Position Tracker logs are located here:

WinXP
"%allusersprofile%\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\ TradingCenter\"

Vista, W7
"%allusersprofile%\TS Support\MultiCharts\ TradingCenter\"

However, these are binary files which cannot be analyzed from an external application.

The only way to analyze this information seems to be to export Order and Position Tracker contents into an Excel file (by clicking File -> Export to Excel) and analyzing the outcome. You can try to make this process automatic.

Thank you, Dave. I'll give a try to export to excel automatically.
