How can I find out (at init() e.g.) that Trade is Allowed (opt are set) even if market is closed or Server is busy?
This is not an atomic check (subject to race conditions) but how about...
begin function
repeat a few times or forever
if (!IsTradeContextBusy() ) return IsTradeAllowed(); // possible race condition
wait a bit
end repeat
return false;
end function or a bit neater but might get stuck...
while IsTradeContextBusy() wait a bit end while return IsTradeAllowed() // still possible race condition if IsTradeContextBusy becomes true at this exact moment
gooly:
Well I would have expected a function or a flag which is set by the terminal option!

I suspected as much, but couldn't tell for sure from your post. Isnt there a lot more threads avialable these days, so trade context less likely to be busy anyway? Unless doing high performance stuff, in which case MT4 platform might not be the best option?

HI,
How can I find out (at init() e.g.) that trade is allowed (terminal-options are set) even if the server is busy (or market closed?)?
IsTradeAllowed();
