How can I record EA variable states when opening or closing order?

I want to be able to have a record of the state of all my variables in my EA at the time it opens or closes an order. How do I do something like that?

Use Print() and print them to the Experts tab and log file . . .
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

Thanks! When I use Print(), it prints to both the Experts and Journal Tab right?

No, if you are Live/Demo trading it writes to the Experts tab and the log in experts/logs directory, if you are using the Strategy Tester it writes to the Journal tab under the Strategy Tester and the log in tester/logs directory
