Hello Ram,

IApplicationInfo.IsAutoTradingMode Property - Indicates if auto-trading is on.
IsRealTimeCalc can be true in forward testing, with auto trading off.

IsRealTimeCalc can be true in forward testing, with auto trading off.

When trying to use "IApplicationInfo.IsAutoTradingMode" I get an error:
Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.
when trying to look at the objects of IApplicationInfo i get only this:

Don't know if it's relevant or not but the code is in an indicator and not in a signal.

When trying to use "IApplicationInfo.IsAutoTradingMode" I get an error:
I think you need to use `Environment.IsAutoTradingMode` for your goal. That is similar as you did earlier, except without the `Environment.IsRealTimeCalc` property.

Thx JoshM for your reply.

I've tried:

Code: Select all

If Environment.IsAutoTradingMode Then Output.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString())
and it doesn't seems to do the trick whether the strategy is ON or NOT I don't get any print out..

Ram,

"IApplicationInfo.IsAutoTradingMode" will not work in an indicator. It will work in a signal only.
