Note to people needing a coder

Yes, I owe those guys a lot, they do share tons of great stuff with the forex community, and I got started learning to program MT4 from codersguru.

AND from looking at their work and many others'. That's mostly my point -- nothing is original except maybe a strategy, and that's probably been tried also.

If someone has a program that really works (like Scott - smjones), they keep it to theirself, period. Copyright is not an issue in that case.

Copyright is important only when someone wants to sell the EA and keep others from passing it on for free or modifying it. I contend that if they're selling it, it doesn't work anyway. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll be next in line to pay for a copy of that EA. I'd pay a lot for an EA that works.

If it doesn't work, and the seller is taking money for it, from people who expect it to make them money, then that seller is a thief and a liar.

So it isn't even important enough to discuss if some people are stealing from thieves.

And, BTW, every download is the same as making a new copy. If it's copyrighted, you've just broken the law if you didn't have permission from the owner of the right to copy.

Also, I'll never run anything that I can't look at the code on. Not even on a demo. If I don't know what it's doing, I won't mess with it.

That's right .....

It really has to be that way. If it's for sale, it doesn't work. If it works, it's not shared.

If someone shared an EA that really worked, it would be emailed from person to person so quickly that within days or weeks, hundreds of millions of dollars would be traded by that EA. Seriously.

The MT4 brokers would be hit with thousands of big trades executed at the same instant. They cannot all be filled at once. We would drive the price against ourselves. People would be getting worse and worse fills, and as the amount traded grew, fills would execute all the way to the t/p.

On exit, it would be even worse. Soon people would change the inputs to exit earlier. This would eventually keep others from hitting the t/p that had been working.

In short, the edge would be quickly gone if it were shared.

This is why I have not distributed any "New" indicators to the public. One of my indicators, a pretty complex one looks as if it was decompiled and redone to add something quite minor and redistributed as an MQ4.

I have no proof this was done, but the code matches mine 98% all except the modification.

What are the odds two programmers programmed the same indicator the exact same way?

How is it possible to decomile something?
I would be very grateful if someone would teach me.
And don't think I am not on your side.
I feel how it is getting your code decompiled and used. It feels bad.
Anyways, I've always wondered how. Is it hard to learn? Is there somekind of special program or something?
Thanks to whoever will reply to my message
Cheers!
