Please, tell me is there a way to get user name on strategy start?

Example user name for demo account is "DEMO2xxxxx".
Expect function getUserName() that returns "DEMO2xxxxx"

Thank you

Hi velldes:

I think you can do that with the last example in Dukascopy Wiki in this page in particular.

Trade well and good luck

Thank you for your answer.
Actually I tried this before posting with historical tester with the following result:

20:31:12 Account type: TEST login: tester_account

And was a little confused.

After your answer I tried run strategy locally with the expected result:

20:35:32 Account type: DEMO login: DEMO2xxxxx

Hi velldes:

If you are running the strategy in historical tester you don't login to Dukascopy with your credentials but is used a predefined account type and username for that tests by what i see in your post to run based in historical data. But i can be wrong, never tested that.

Trade well and good luck
