put that in the init funciton:


if (Period() != PERIOD_D1)

        return INIT_FAILED;

Don't do that. It will be unlikely to pass validation.

You could try hardcoding it so that it works with D1 no matter what the chart time-frame is.

yeah there are many ways to do it. But i guess your way is better :)

id go with

if(ChartPeriod() != PERIOD_D1) ChartSetSymbolPeriod(0,NULL,PERIOD_D1);

and run this check regularly (not just in init) to stop the user breaking the ea through sheer stupidity.

ChartSetSymbolPeriod() will not work in the tester.

You can set that manually. Why would anyone test an EA optimized for D1 on M5, especially if he is the author? 😂

Of course it can be set manually, but this topic is about getting an EA validated for the market. Validation is done in a testing environment and I pointed out that the function will not work in the tester. That was in reply to el_looto's suggestion.

The validation is done automatically, so it is not the author that is doing the testing.
