trade snapshot on backtesting

Hello everyone! this is my first post. There it goes:
I'm programming a Strategy on NT7 and it would be a lot easier to have a look at all my trades on photos of each, instead of having to click and select chart for everyone. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance!

Hello

I have done this before, what you do is actually take a screen shot at every trade for later reference
you can see an example of such a bot at

Ron's Alpha Trade Method (ATM) BOT

Hello

I have been trading for some time the Alpha Trading Method (and been posting trades to both the thread ATM Trading Method Vendor Free ( and my personal trading journal (.
Credit for the initial posting of the ATM method goes to JDNeeman and …

You need to replay the data and run your strategy and then you call the following function :

Code

		protected int MakeScreenShot ()
		{
			String filename;

			ScreenCapture sc = new ScreenCapture();
			
			//{39:MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss}
	
			if (myTakePictureType == 1)
			{
		      filename= string.Format("{0}O{1}-{2}-{3:yyyyMMdd-HH.mm.ss}{4}",
				"c:\\logs\\banana\\",
				this.Instrument.FullName,
				this.BarsPeriod, 
				Time[0], 
				".png");
			  // without extension
			  myTakePictureAttachment = string.Format("{0}O{1}-{2}-{3:yyyyMMdd-HH.mm.ss}",
				"c:\\logs\\banana\\",
				this.Instrument.FullName,
				this.BarsPeriod, 
				Time[0]);
			}
			else
			{
		      filename= string.Format("{0}B{1}-{2}-{3:yyyyMMdd-HH.mm.ss}{4}",
				"c:\\logs\\banana\\",
				this.Instrument.FullName,
				this.BarsPeriod, 
				Time[0], 
				".png");
			  // without extension
			  myTakePictureAttachment = string.Format("{0}B{1}-{2}-{3:yyyyMMdd-HH.mm.ss}",
				"c:\\logs\\banana\\",
				this.Instrument.FullName,
				this.BarsPeriod, 
				Time[0]);
			}
			
			DebugPrint (filename);
//			sc.CaptureWindowToFile(ChartControl.FindForm().Handle,filename,ImageFormat.Png);
			sc.CaptureScreenToFile(filename,ImageFormat.Png);
			
			return (0);
			
		}

Thanks for the help!

Sorry but some things seem missing. All those variables are nowhere declared. Also ScreenCapture is not recognize.

Do you insert this code INSIDE the strategy or in other file and you call it from there as an indicator?
