Hi all, can an EA Detect Account is Cent or Standard Account ?

Thanks

Interesting question. I think it's not possible, but not sure.

Why do you need to know?

There isn't any real difference between Cent or Standard accounts, it is only a difference in the variables and their values on the following page :

Hope this answers your question.

Was just curious to know if an EA can detect 4 or 5 digit broker, why it can't detect the type of account. Thanks for your kind reply by the way. :)

Ok, it's useful to know if you have a 4 or 5 digits broker. But what may be useful to know the type of account (cent or standard) ? I do not see.

If you have a standard account, and want to use 0.01 lot, it would work fine, but it wouldn't open trade on a cent account, and it must be 0.1.

This isn't not related to standard/cent account as far as I know, it's minimum lot.
