Account.Balance.ToString() not working
13 Dec 2013, 20:03

Hi,

I added plenty of Print(...) in my robot for the debug purposes.
The prints help me to monitor the robots operation.

What I noticed that the Account.Balance.ToString() and Account.Equity.ToString() don't work.

Code for example:

protected override void OnTick()
{	...
	...
   if(......)
   {
       Print("Account.Balance before the trade is ", Account.Balance.ToString());
       Print("Account.Equity before the trade is ", Account.Equity.ToString());
  }
	...
        ...
}

What I get in the prints is only:

13/12/2013 17:18:18.501 | Account.Balance before the trade is
13/12/2013 17:18:18.501 | Account.Equity before the trade is

As you see, no value is shown.

I am using a demo account. Not sure if it matters.

Can anyone explain what is wrong?

Thanks

You have to add {0}

Print("Account.Balance before the trade is {0} ", Account.Balance);

This is a different approach. I will switch to it.

But the first one should work as well.

The Account.Balance id double, which definitely has the ToString() method.

Sorry - typo:

Should be

"The Account.Balance IS double, which definitely has the ToString() method"

Both should work with method print(): Account.Balance or Account.Balance.ToString()

Just tested again.

Print("Account.Balance before the trade is {0} ", Account.Balance);

is showing the numbers, while the

Print("Account.Balance before the trade is ", Account.Balance.ToString());

isn't.

Of course the second wouldn't.

Print("Account.Balance before the trade is " + Account.Balance.ToString());

This would though.

I just realized how stupid my question was.

I was pretty tired when I wrote this line of code :)

It should have been:

Print("Account.Balance before the trade is " + Account.Balance.ToString());

string msg = "Account.Balance before the trade is " +  Account.Balance.ToString();
Print(msg);

LOL

Reason your code isn't working isn't because of the To.String(), it's because you're use of string concatenation is incorrect.
