How can you force an EA to run only OnTimer in mql4 and ignore any incoming broker ticks?

Probably by renaming the start() to OnTimer()

Don't use a start() or OnTick() function, or do this :

void OnTick()
  {
   return;
  }

What? You sure use build 600? This surely runs on my box:

// expert - testtimer

#property strict

int OnInit()
{
        EventSetTimer(1);
        return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
        EventKillTimer();
}
void OnTimer()
{
        Print("happy timer, tick, tick...");
}
