Hi All,

Can someone please assist me with this.

I am having trouble working out how to complete an expiry feature on my ea.

i.e: if expiry_date > 'XX/XX/XXXXX' then, do nothing, else run ea.

I would like this code to be based on server time that way it cannot be run by just changing the date in your OS.

Any code to assist with this would be very much appreciated.


Cheers,
Miike

Hi!

At the top of your code add these 2 lines:

PHP Code
datetime Expire_Date = D'2008.12.31';  //<--- The expire date is 31 December 2007
string   Expire_Message = "Your trail period is over! Please go to www.web.com to purchase";
And in start() function and before any code add these lines:

PHP Code
 if(TimeCurrent()>=Expire_Date)
    {
      Alert(Expire_Message);
      return(0);
    }

yes, you can retrieve the account number that metatrader is logged into and then verify that against your known account number. If it doesn't match, don't run.

bool demo_account = IsDemo();
if (!demo_account)
{
Alert ("You can not use the program with a real account!");
return(0);
}



int hard_accnt = 12345;
int accnt = AccountNumber();
if (accnt != hard_accnt)
{
Alert ("You can not use this account (" + DoubleToStr(accnt,0) + ") with this program!");
return(0);
}



string expire_date = "2008.03.01";
datetime e_d = StrToTime(expire_date);
if (CurTime() >= e_d)
{
Alert ("The trial version has expired!");
return(0);
}



if (Password != "1234")
{
Alert ("Wrong password!");
return (0);
