Backtest detection

[Victor_Zelenyi]

Hi, how can i trigger some functions in strategy only in backtest?

Hello Victor_Zelenyi,
Thanks for your post.

You can determine if your strategy is running in the Strategy Analyzer by doing something similar to:

if(IsInStrategyAnalyzer)
{
    Print("The Strategy Is Running In The Strategy Analyzer");
}

Thank you.

But if running backtest type != "Backtest" IsInStrategyAnalyzer returns false.
How to detect if strategy is running in the Strategy Analyzer for other backtest types?

Hello Klaus,

Please see the post below which shows how you can differentiate backtest types.
