Unlocking EA source code

What do you mean 'not nice'?

That's VERY sound advice and pretty obvious to most people.

All EA's can be quite easily decompiled and the ONLY way to protect your work is to not share it.

by 'not nice' I mean - posting teasing pictures - pretty obvious (pornpictures&hookers joke)
about the rest - not posting (decomp) - you understood right

As long as people choose to decompile there will be less and less programmers who will publish their EAs for free at all. Then you'll all be forced to learn to program them for yourselves. At that point, maybe you'll appreciate how much work goes into one and if you spent your time doing it you may not be so happy to see others asking how to rape your work.
Yes - it is a noob question. Yes - it feels like an invasion of privacy to decompile. There are still good reasons for source code. I have worked with over free 300 expert advisors and have learned a great deal from them. I can see the root logic and trace the history of the source. I can make the ea much more accurate. I can make bots that trade once a week or month trade 2000 times a day.

I have seen it is less about 100% winrate or money management or spreads or leverage - and more about pips. Source code explains all of this. There are very few books on this. And I believe - unless you start with EAStudio building bots - you first look at other people's sample code to begin your own.
There is little need to decompile today. There are hundreds of free source files available not decompiled.
Once you get the hang of it - testing it to see how code trades - then you can build your own strategies.

Asking anyone to supply source code is an honor. It is learning and appreciating how they think through trading. It turns the humble moving average into a powerful ally often in a new light.

Noobs are not trying to steal ideas - but see how it works. Thinking over feeling offers better perspective.

Why to unlock an EA on the first place? Writing codes for an EA is like writing a poet, everyone has his own style and secret. I am never interested with other people's EA. It's just different. That's all.

Just go open source bro lmao. If your releasing it for free anyways. Now decompiling paid services should be a crime but if YOU as the programmer don't include a license agreement, you don't own your code. No one does and it's not public use either.

Thing to take away from this is license files are super important and don't forget them.

Guys,

Decompile as much as you want ... even though new builds are reasonably decompilation proof

If you think you are going to learn something from decompiled code, you are dead wrong (you shall have to know very much before you can recognize what the decompiled code is doing in anything more complicated than some simple indicator, and that is the rule of thumb for any decompiled code, not just mql code)

On the other hand, if you want to use it for the (ever implied) other purpose : well, good luck with it when someone to whom you sell that stuff asks you to make any change or any explanation . You know the saying : you can run but only so far with short legs

Okay, here is my newest creation.
It is in BETA testing, but you may see my source code.

It never stops trading (until you set MaxTrades) It wins way more than it loses. It stays the lots you set.

It trades nine strategies at the same time. It is an MT4 ea. It uses basic indicators MACD, RVI, MA, ATR, ADX, Divergence.

I will be trading in and out others later like Stoch, AO, AC, WPR, Pivots, etc.

To turn off a bot - simply set its work times to zero.

Just set the Lots, TP, SL, copies and MaxTrades. If it stops working - it is because it hit MaxTrades.

bots ***UPDATES***

OK - So this was the first day of trading Wednesday, Sep. 7, 2022.

FXblue.com gives us each bot's wins/losses. Two bots took zero trades. 2 bots took 200 trades. 1 bot took 300 trades yesterday.

The circled ones are the ones to keep on until I have fixed the ea. They have good win ratios. bot11 has the best.

Turn off the first 5 bots by setting them to zero.

Most source code uses the command:

Sleep (5000);

This allows the ea to wait 5000 cycles before next signal. Some make it 10000 cycles or more.

A longer option is close the trade session until the European market or Asian market opens.

int USMarketOpen=16; // adjust to your Time;
int USMarketClose=24;
int EuroMarketOpen=1;
int EuroMarketClose=9;
int AsiaMarketOpen=10;
int AsiaMarketClose=18;
bool EndCurrentMarket=false;
int ticket=0;

int start() {
if(ticket>0) { EndCurrentMarket=true; return(0); }

GetSignals;
return(0);
}
That way, it will not open a new trade for hours until new signal in the next trading session.

Hello,

The source code looks okay. This might be a matter of time frame. You want one trade only when the 7MA crosses the 12MA at the close. This is a weaker signal.
Perhaps best at h1. 7 hours over 12 hours will give you one trade per day. That's fine. (80% wins)

At m30 - you might get 2-3 orders per day - but the MA cross becomes less accurate and you will win less. (70% wins)

At m15 - you might get 4 orders but now the MA is checked for a cross every 1 hour 45 min and that is less accurate. (60%)

At m5 - you are checking every 35 min. for a signal. Over 10 trades per day - but set the TP/SL small to get wins above 55%
(Then you only get 20-40 pips per trade)

Typically, ma crosses do best at night. You might want to add - Begin at 15, End at 24.

MA designs usually need some other indicators if you want many orders per day.

the RSI is helpful indicator when wanting many pips. OR - make it MA20 over MA50 and that will be way stronger. (slower too)

You want to trade the BIG turns - not every tiny MA cross. You can set your TP to 500 pips and win 80%.

Remember, pips are everything. Not indicators, not opens/closes. End of the day - win pips.
