Guys, I wanted to display debug messages (variable values) in my first EA while doing backtesting using strategy test. How can I achieve it?

Thanks

Hi Syed,

It is me again. Just use Print command and the variables you include will be printed in Journal Tab (and also in Log file it seems). For example,

Print("my first data = ",Data1,"; my second data = ",Data2);

You can make just one command at a time and move it down slowly checking each point (changing variables according to the place of code).

Syedks, if you use Comment() instead of Print(), it will be displayed in the upper left corner while doing a viual backtest.
This will save you from switching back and forth to the Journal tab, while still being able to use the forward/pause button.

In the lower left corner of the Strategy tester window you will see the "Visual mode" mark.
Right next to it is the speed sliderbar and right next to that you will have the Pause (||) / forward (>>) button
