Reading binary or dat file
27 Sep 2016, 10:09
Hello,
I am new to cTrader and I would like to test my code and see if it can read a DAT file before I attach it to a chart. How can I go about this? Below is my code.
private bool FileRead()
{
string _run_file = "@C:\\cAlgo\\" + _FILE;
if (!File.Exists(_run_file))
{
Print(_run_file + " does not exist! ");
return false;
}
using (BinaryReader _binary = new BinaryReader(File.Open(_run_file, FileMode.Open)))
{
string _build_time = _binary.ReadString();
_instrument.build_time = DateTime.Parse(_build_time);
Print(" BUILD OF: " + _instrument.build_time.ToString());
int _capacity = _binary.ReadInt32();
Print(" BUILD AT: " + _capacity.ToString());// How can I read this from cTrader
}
return true;
}

To my point, if I attach the bot below to a chart I do not see the print message in either the journal or the log.
