Overwrite print file

Postby PaperoneJunior » 06 Apr 2021

Hi, I would like to print information in a dedicated file only for for the most recent bar of a chart (DURING AUTOTRADING).

The output I would like to have, can be obtained with these 2 lines:

Code: Select all

FileDelete(CompletePath); print(file(CompletePath),marketposition*currentcontracts," ",barinterval);
Unfortunately the reserved word "FileDelete" is very slow.

Is there a way to overwrite the print file every time the print reserved word is met?

Hello PaperoneJunior,

You can try the following:

1. If FileDelete is too slow, you can use a new file for each Print keyword.
2. You can write your own DLL to erase the file contents.
