Does ChartOpen() and ChartSetSymbolPeriod() work in the strategy tester?

[Michael Mureithi Mbugua]

When working with the strategy tester, ChartOpen() returns 0, and does not open a new chart. However, it works fine on the terminal. 

Does it usually work on the strategy tester? Thanks.

No! Chart operations are limited in the Strategy Tester environment.

However, if you had just done a simple search, you would have found many threads about the exact same query and you would not have needed to post the question!
