Thread: protection on your ea from being unlocked

Hi,
Many coders/traders have same query like you. It is the biggest troubles if you would like to share your indior or EA, while you constantly shy someone will decode it.
Today, there's absolutely no way to decompile build 600 , but what will be tomorrow... Everything that's been constructed - can always be broken.

I tried to ask Mr.Google and here are few response:
1. Place your code in a DLL
2. Do not let anybody can comprehend your egy . They can decompile your EA, but can't know anything, or at least, really hard.

Below are a few links for you:

thanks for the feedback. My replies below

1) I did read these posts earlier (I additionally google up) but I can't get a good conclusion from them
two) I want to explain how the EA works as it is not too easy with no

actually, what I want is to have some understanding exactly what the hackers are searching for, therefore I could somehow wreck up those things to make their life super hard so that they will just stop trying

anyone?

Placing code into DLL makes it even more easy to hack it. Because there are several more tools to perform this available.

Why I suspected? Since there's 1 guy who afterwards enrolled, deposited USD1k trade only a few small lots and after some time he asked to provide him ex4 for another 5 more acc about the pretense...

Its knowed protection was broken (about b600 ). Even you have general advice how functions and steps to perform it. Anyways the code you get is asm subsequently is useless oftentimes. Not many protections are simple to crack whenever you have the code decompiled ( in this instance protection broken ) and always depends if the attempt to perform it disappears. Evidently in forex tools never compensate this because all profitable chances depends directly of trader using them. That is my opinion...

sorry I do not quite understand you

ts knowed protection has been broken (about b600 )
** You mean the protection on construct 600 is no more?

Yes. It was busted. But they'll change shortly...

How protecting our ea is a renowned question between coders consistently but unfortunately there isn't any certain safe response for this question yet
but should you would like to sell your ea or sharing it a fantastic way is that you run your ea on investor accounts yourself, and and to avoiding that they replie your ea trading on a different accounts you can hide positions a few hours in a week by changing the password for a couple hours. .
Or you can refer them to myfxbook to follow trading and your ea performance through myfxbook

As far as I know it wasn't broken/hacked in the way that you are able to decompile all build stuff. Just some stuff protected by MT in their market and even then only under well defined conditions.

For me the best protection would be not to discuss the vital calculation. So the most effective way for me is to build a webservice that gives you the calculation results and only build the webclient with mql. So you've got all security egies calculations at your server and never at customer website. Decompiling the customer will give nothing of interest to them.

It had been totally broken. Steps for skip protection are not there. Market tools are secure because have a second protection layer. Anyway you get asm code not source code afterward is not big Issue
