Need help with coding account number in EA

Hi,

I'm new to programming and want to develop an EA. My question is..........
If I want someone to use the EA, how can I code their account number in the EA so that it only work with their account. I apppreciate any help I can get here. Thanks in advance.

If you are new to programming then it might be a little early to worry about those things - might be a while untill you have an EA worth stealing.

Anyway the function AccountNumber() returns the account number. You would have to get the account number from whoever you give the EA to and then code something like:

int start()
{
if (Provided_Account_Number!=AccountNumber())
{
return(0) //to exit the start() function
}
//Your EA code here
return(0)
}
Provided_Account_Number would need to be set by you internally. There may be other/better ways of coding this.
HTH

Thanks for your time sergiu. I am not worry about anyone stealing my EA... at least not yet. I just want to learn as much as I can to make it easier for me later on. Sorry if I sound dumb..... but let's say I want to code this EA for someone with account #12345 and broker ODLS. How would you code that into your example to make sure that it only works with his account? Thanks again for your help.
