Test whether optimizer is running

[anachronist]

Is there a flag I somewhere I can test in my NinjaScript to tell if the script is being run by the optimizer?

Normally I have my strategies send voluminous information to the output window, so it would be nice if I had a way to disable that output automatically if the script detects that it is being executed by the optimizer.

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately there is no way to detect this. Best work around would be to place print statements within a user defined bool input you that you could set.

Thanks, I'm doing that already... just wanted to know if I could automate the switch. I guess the answer is no.
