16 May 2024, 17:42


Hello,

Is it no longer possible to search and filter within the logs or, am I missing something?

Hi there,

Search was removed. Now you can open log file as txt files and search there

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Panagiotis,

That I've noticed. Is this considered an improvement? 

With the built-in search function only the search results that matched the search were showing. There was also a filter (trading, information, warning, error).

I don't think that such features are available in notepad or similar app.

Regarding backtesting: I see the option of having a built-in search/ filter feature of much higher applicability  than an option to save the log as a .txt file.

In fact, I see both these options as complementary and not as incompatible.

Please note that, among other, it is not very practical to have to open external applications to check backtest data on every backtest iteration.

I can already tell you that, in my case, this will be a huge drawback when backtesting, since I am still expecting thousands of iterations to come.
