ChartScreenShot() is saving the files as empty - page 3

 
marco82ger:

I got a temporal solution working both in Mac and Windows: let the code i posted run on MT4, only on MT4 you can catch screenshot during testing mode. 

Please, watch out when you install MT4 since there is a known issue with links for download: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/165973/page3

ChartScreenShot() is saving the files as empty

You are right, it works, the code I was using was not working in "normal" mode due an other problem. However it seems Comment() are not taken into account. Anyway, good to know.

Actually checking the previous posts, I see I answered to an MT5 question, while this is well an MT4 topic, so the confusion. With MT5 Strategy Tester, you get empty screenshots whatever the testing mode used.


 
So just to confirm.. in MT5 we can not take screenshots in testing / back testing?

Why are you asking in the MT4 section?
