Debugging a function

In the "Script" part of the "Create Functions" Window:
Is it possible to somehow debug my code with sample data, that is going through it line by line and see what values the variables will hold?

Keep up the awesome work on Quantshare!!
All the best
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

You can use the "Global.Trace" function to display what values the variables hold.

Example:

VectorD c = cFunctions.Close;
VectorD e = c / 2;

for(int i=0;i<e.Length;i++)
{
Global.Trace("Index: " + i + " - Value: " + e[i]);
}

// Add the function in a chart to display the data in the "View -> Output" window.

How can I debug a variable inside a script though?

As specified above, please use "Global.Trace" function.

Will this also work say inside a function that is inside a pre-script downloader?

Yes it will.
