ACCOUNT_TRADE_ALLOWED bug in MetaTrader 5 build 2940

[Besarion Turmanauli]

• In backtest everything's working properly: AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_TRADE_ALLOWED)) returns 1 (true)
• On a real or demo account: AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_TRADE_ALLOWED)) always returns 0 (false)

So what ?

Use an account where trading is enabled.

AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_TRADE_ALLOWED) may return false in the following cases:

• no connection to the trade server. That can be checked using TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_CONNECTED);
• trading account switched to read-only mode (sent to the archive);
• trading on the account is disabled at the trade server side;
• connection to a trading account has been performed in Investor mode.

Thank you,

I actually verified and seems that trade server was responsible for the value returned, because in this case it only returns false when there are no funds on the account, however, when I switch to a funded account, true (1.0) is returned.
