Optimzation on Remote Server fails

New comment
 

Hi guys,

Optimization of my EA on remote server fails with the following error:

2013.01.17 21:55:44    eagle    pass 8 tested with error "critical runtime error in global initialization function (error 508, module -1, file 65535, line 0, col 0)" in 15 ms

This is because of DLL call and that's fine. I therefore changed to code to only do DLL calls if the current run is not an optimization run:

if (!(bool)MQL5InfoInteger(MQL5_OPTIMIZATION)) OutputDebugStringA(OutputStringArray);

But the problem is that the Metatrader 5 Strategy tester is throwing an error reagardless. Just to check that the MQL5_OPTIMIZATION flag is working I changed to code to:

if (1==2) OutputDebugStringA(OutputStringArray);

and even that throws an error. Only if I comment that line out it works.

My question here is: Is there any way (maybe with some preprocessor calls) to "disable the row" so I don't need to keep 2 versions (ex5 files) of the same EA. One with DLL calls and one without?

Thanks,
Wolfgang

Sorry for late reply.

How about using MQL5 import ? 

All you have to do is to change the import .ex5 file from the one with .dll calling with the one that is not calling .dll.
