Trying to add file append to a working strategy but I can't get it to work. I want to see the strategy AND append the buy/sell to text file (whiach also works but not WITH the buy/sell code.
This is what I am trying to get working:
...... then
FileAppend("c:\trade.txt", "cxlplace,BUY,60000,MKT,,0" + NumToStr(Date, 0) + NewLine) and Buy ( "gw1" ) next bar at market ;

BUT my format isn't quite right

"cxlplace,BUY,1,MKT,,0 ,2006082312300"
I need help with last part the date/time stamp
format is:
2006 - year (YYYY)
08 - month (MM)
23 - date (DD)
1230 (time)
plus extra 0 at end
I played around with CurrentDate AND CurrentTime but couldn't get it to work. Any ideas with this one?

What did you do to make it work? What kind of problems do you have? Please be more specific.

I can't remember why I couldn't get it to work, I am trying another front end now that I don't need the date stamp thanks.
