Block EA from running on strategy tester

New comment
 

Here is the simple EA code which gives an Alert when initialized on the chart..

int OnInit()

{

 Alert("The EA is Initialized");

return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);

}


I want to lock this EA to not run its code on strategy tester. How can I do that?

Thanks & Regards

Use IsTesting() to check if EA is running in strategy tester

int OnInit()
{
if(IsTesting())
  {
  Alert("...");
  return(INIT_FAILED);
  }
return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

Hi 

Thank you so much for your answer... You made my work simple :-)

so Here is the code to block EA to not run on strategy tester


int OnInit()

{

 int A = IsTesting();

 if(A != 1)

 Alert("EA is Initialized");

return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);

}

  1. Please edit your (original) post and use the CODE button (Alt-S)! (For large amounts of code, attach it.)

  2. IsTesting does not return an int. Your code doesn't block anything. It only Alerts if you are using the tester or optimizer but not the debugger or live trading.
