TradeStation Help

Stepping through a Chart or RadarScreen

While the EasyLanguage Debugger is open, activity in all TradeStation windows is halted. No data, alerts, or strategy orders will be generated. Any window, including Chart Analysis, in open workspaces will not update until the EasyLanguage Debugger is closed. The EasyLanguage Debugger is intended for use in a development environment. Debugging should not take place while trading or using strategy automation.

You can use the EasyLanguage Debugger to "walk through" a Chart Analysis or RadarScreen window. In a RadarScreen window, the EasyLanguage Debugger is displayed for each symbol.

1. Insert an analysis technique containing the BreakPoint keyword. The EasyLanguage Debugger opens automatically when it encounters the BreakPoint keyword.
2. In the EasyLanguage Debugger window, select the Next BP check box.
3. Click Stop On at the bottom of the window to step through your chart bar by bar, stopping at each breakpoint that has been specified in the EasyLanguage code.
4. To close the EasyLanguage Debugger and ignore further references to the BreakPoint keyword, click Run.
