How to get the current backtesting mode in code?

[Martin Bittencourt]

Hi,

I'ld like to know: is there a way, like via a function+enumerator, to know, from inside the code, if the current running optimization/backtesting is using which system? (OHLC1 min, fake tick, real tick, etc.)

I couldn't find anything in the F1 :T

You test code. The code should never care that it is being tested (diagnostic messages excepted).

It is poissible. Not without DLL.

This library allows you to do so.

You do have to read the Russian thread or study the code to find out how.
