Is it possible to call for logs outside the main.cs? Particularly interested in calling these in the modules, which I have as seperate .cs files. For now I'm just pulling it all into main, which sort of stinks.

Depending on what you refer to as a "module", you may be able to add a QCAlgorithm myAlgo to the list of their constructor parameters, for example, and then store that reference in the module itself. You can then invoke myAlgo.Log( "log here" );.
Another way is to simply pass a reference to the algorithm into whatever method you want to use logs in. An example of where this is done are the Framework algos where most functions have a reference to QCAlgorithm in their parameters (see here and here).

thats the very very first framework of the Alpha Framework right now from days when it was posted in the Algorithm Lab under University (tab) as example how to split up things in C#.
This should answer your question

Hi Stephen,
Yes you can definitely do that. I would recommand pass the object in main.cs to your modules, for the purpose call for logs. I have simplified @Michael's example to bare minimum to show how it works. Hope it helps!
