isoptimization doesn't seem to work for me....!!!

[mikeitexpert]

Hi All,

I am new MQL4/5 .... I am just running tests at the moment to familiarize myself with function etc...

https://docs.mql4.com/check/isoptimization

I tried the below EA code in the optimization mode given the below settings in strategy tester as attached.

although, I have the below code in EA, I don't get to see any message  in journal tab:

    if(IsOptimization())  Print("I am optimizing now");

Please let me know why:

Thank

void OnTick()
  {
     
    if(IsTesting()) Print("I am testing now");
    if(IsOptimization())  Print("I am optimizing now");
    Print("MODE_STOPLEVEL = ", MarketInfo (Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL));
   
  }

don't attach an image, insert the image

Users with low ranking do not seem to have an option for image insertion. E.g. I don't see that image icon here in the editor. Insert code works, though.

It is strange ... it is something new ...
You are the second person who informed about it ...

thats right ... I couldn't insert the images so attached them.

If I remember correctly, the Print function and some other output functions are ignored when optimizing.
