    javascript
    
    
function main() {
    if (IsVirtual()) {
        Log("Running in backtest")
    } else {
        Log("Running in live trading")
    }
    // Output: "Running in backtest" in a backtest, "Running in live trading" in live trading
}

    python
    
    
def main():
    if IsVirtual():
        Log("Running in backtest")
    else:
        Log("Running in live trading")
    # Output: "Running in backtest" in a backtest, "Running in live trading" in live trading

    rust
    
    
fn main() {
    if IsVirtual() {
        Log!("Running in backtest");
    } else {
