Dear support team,

We've seen that executeTask now can successfully be called from within the strategy thread only in LIVE and DEMO mode.
In TESTER mode however, the strategy will hang when future = context.executeTask with a future.get() is called from within the strategy thread.

Best, RR.

PS: I know we should avoid executeTask calls from within the strategy code. We however use general functions that can be called from strategy and non-strategy threads. Is there a way to determine if the current thread is the strategy thread?

1) How to determine if the current thread is the strategy thread:

   if(Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("StrategyRunner Thread")){ 
      //Do something 
   } 

All methods defined in IStrategy interface are called in a strategy thread.

2) About "future.get()" in the historical tester.
If you call the "future.get()" from the strategy thread do it in the following way:

   if(Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("StrategyRunner Thread")){ 
      if(future.isDone()){ 
         future.get(); 
      } 
   }
