I have an EA, purchased from the author for a small sum, which shows potential but needs some amendments. It's quite interesting, based around pivot breaks and MAs.
In particular it needs amending to include the option to take profit after xx pips, set S/L to break-even and adjust how many lots to continue to run to final TP target.
The quandary: The author is not responding to any communication.
Having been a programmer in a past life I am very aware of the ethics around ownership of IPR etc. However, the author did provide the source code, which I think implies a certain intent regarding access to the EA.
I guess what I'm looking for is a volunteer to amend the code (to a more comprehensive spec than given above, of course!)
If it was public domain code I would have suggested the person doing the work could have retained the EA for their own use. I'm not sure it's appropriate in this case, so would rely on an interested volunteer or perhaps a small payment.
Any thoughts/suggestions/volunteers?
