I want to sell my EA, but I want to let customers backtest my EA before they buying my EA.

How is the mql4 code to only allow EA open trade on strategy tester but not allow EA open trade on demo / real account?

You may use the OnInit and IsTesting functions:

Inserted Code
int OnInit()
{
   if(!IsTesting())
   {
      Print("Pay my bill");
      return(INIT_FAILED);
   }
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
