I know there is a way to test if currently running an optimizing run in strategy tester but now I cannot find it

I had some suspicious results running MetaTester on the cloud so I decided to dig a bit deeper. Running version 1010  64 bit. The first indication was that the results shown after a strategy run was not the same as when running a single run from

.Try this: 1. Develop a multicurrency EA. 2. Make it runnable in MT4 and MT5 3. Add SQL. Struggled along so far. Now try to run some optimization runs with MT5 on the cloud. Get stopped even if I do not do any actual MySQL calls on optimisation runs
