Demo only EA

[Ian]

Many of the EA's available for purchase offer a demo mode only or strategy tester only mode for "trying" out the EA. Will someone please provide the code for allowing a EA to run in demo and/or strategy tester mode only?

One additional question. I purchased one EA when I first began looking into the Forex market and I had to register the EA and get a key before it would work. Will someone also please point me in the direction of where I can find the code and/or process that does that?

Thanks!

phy, I'm running on a demo account but the IsDemo() returns false. I have live accounts as well with my broker but currently I'm logged into my demo account. Any idea why IsDemo() returns false?

Thanks!

bool IsDemo(

)

Returns TRUE if the expert runs on a demo account, otherwise returns FALSE.

Hello, I am having the same problem. I´m logged in a Demo account but IsDemo() is returning FALSE.

if(IsDemo()) Alert("Demo"); else Alert("Not Demo");

My bank is AVAFX. Could someone help me?
