Check for Backtest, Walkforward or Optimisation

[GKonheiser]

Is there a way to check if a run type is Backtest, Walk-forward or Optimisation.

IE in my script i write to file but dont want it to write to file if it is running Backtest etc...

Hello GKonheiser,

Thank you for your post.

If the run is a backtest in the Strategy Analyzer the bars will return historical as true. So a check for historical will allow for this, such as if(Historical)return;

However, this means it would not run on the historical data on your charts even when you are not backtesting.

Unfortunately, there is no method or function to determine if the call is from the Strategy Analyzer or not.
