Hi all
I'm new in FT. I have read help and forum thread, but don't find why FT run all strategy InitStrategy() if present in Strategies folder, even if I use "Enable/Disable Strategy Execution" button and even if no strategy are selected in the list?
I'm testing a lot of them, and it take long time to load + Init my R sofware or fire my showMessage() command etc
Why strategies are not initialize only when i press START TEST and ONLY if I have check them in the list ?
If i want to modify my strategy with delphi, i cant' compile it until I leave FT ? How can i release strategy.dll file from FT to modify and compile it with delphi ?
Hope i'm clear enough and sorry for my poor english
thanks for answer

This confuses me. You don't modify the .dll file when you modify a strategy, you modify the source code (usually .dpr). The .dll file is the compiled form. You should have no trouble modifying the source code and re-compiling it, though you'll have to stop any tests before you can install the new compiled version into Forex Tester. There should be no need to close FT to install a new version of a strategy - just stop all tests in progress.

You're right, I modify .dpr file, but when i compile to get the dll file, it seems FT lock it... Message "impossible to create dll file" until I leave FT.
Since FT read all DLL file present in strategy folder to build the strategy list available, i think it locks the file too. Any suggestion ?

Perhaps you're compiling directly to the FT strategies folder. I always compile the dll to a separate project folder, then I install it using the Install New Strategy command, which copies the dll into the FT strategies folder. That way I can always compile another version without interfering with the one FT is currently using.
