Try to use the MQL5InfoString(MQL5_PROGRAM_NAME)

This s corrrect sintaxe:

string pgm_name = MQLInfoString(MQL_PROGRAM_NAME)

Yes, but if tomorrow  another person find this topic like i've found today, so will found the correct sintaxe

However the return values of MQLInfoString(MQL_PROGRAM_NAME) do not match in MQL4 and MQL5.

While MQL4 returns the name of the file (without the extension), MQL5 returns a name assigned in IndicatorSetString(INDICATOR_SHORTNAME, ...).

if(MQLInfoString(MQL_PROGRAM_NAME)!="your eaname") return(0);

no extension!
