Regarding server-load, as long as you get a decent server (e.g. Blade series, etc) and a solid internet connection (e.g. T1-line or better), you should have no problem. Afterall, that's really all that a broker itself uses.

You want a TradeCloser based on MACD and MA? Whats your exit strategy? I got one I probably can edit...

I use MACD with 5 and 10 close period Simple Moving average, once the
MACD on 4hours and 1 hour chat confirms a positive divergence and the
5 close period Simple MA (Preferably in Green color) crosses the 10
close period SMA (Preferably in Red color) upwards on the 15 min
chart that gives a sure BUY signal with Take Profit of nothing less
than 15-40 Pips for the trade. And if on the other way round i.e a
negative MACD divergence on 4hours and 1 hour chart plus a downward
cross of the 5 close period SMA downwards across the 10 close Simple
SMA on the 15mins chart, then thats a sure 15-40 pips sell signal.

I say just distribute an account-copier EA.

Change the account every period and give them the new number accordingly.
Can You please help me about EA copier setting. I have 5 MT4 accounts in different names. I manage all the accounts. It is very cumbersome for me to place orders in all the accounts.I use the same PC to manage all the accounts. Can some setting be made with help of EA copier that I place orders In one account and all the accounts running copy those orders.

Or you can avoid selling the signal service completely and just start up managed accounts =D
I thought about including dummy client/master server communication, but quickly realized that different people work with different brokers, the results will not be the same at all, this is why I think signal sending services are crap, different brokers have different bar for bar action, this can cause some heavy conflicts. I've decided to not sell any EA I produce, but to manage accounts with them. Out of curiosity, what is the average % rate that people are charging for managed accounts?

Anywhere from 20 to 30% profits - High water mark accounting (you only get paid when the account increases). I usually charge 20 or 25%. Also you can become a broker IB and get pip rebates on each trade.

Ok, so basically it's from net, not gross, and 20-30% depending on the results correct? for example, say my results we're at least 40% better than yours, would I be ok to charge 30%? Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the thread, so fulltime, if you could contact me via PM that would be great, I would like to learn more about managing accounts and the IB thing. When it comes to broker stuff, I'm a complete noob. I'm not even sure I have an idea of trustworthy brokers.

It's U.S. Law (international too possibly).

However, that threat is an empty threat at best. It takes an enormous amount of resources to track these thieves and even more resources to prosecute them.

The best thing to do is not share an EA, or if ever, create a booby trapped EA.

I can make pretty safe EAs using DLLs. They have never been cracked. Its not impossible but its just too damn painful...
Actually, its really easy to reverse engineer DLL's

Its for this reason, that we wrote a server/ EA client from scratch that sends all the trades from the server (as someone else mentioned)

Its the ONLY way to be totally safe.

If I understand you correctly, there is still a possible security breach:

Someone who's on your subscription list may easily give the account # and password to someone else who is not on the list (along with a copy of the client EA). Indeed, if that someone is greedy enough, he may even offer to sell this information at a lower price than you're charging, thus making him a middle-man in a sub-market of his creation, but profiting at your expense.

You need a way to allow only those who are subscribers to benefit from your signals.
Easy way to deal with that..

In your server, dont allow 2 diff IP addressed to get signals at the same time.
If you see such activity.. Stall signals for at least a few minutes.

Send a message the EA of the primary subscriber telling them that.. You will have a new subscriber in hours.

Not the only way ...

As I explained earlier, just set up a master EA server where the slave EAs are constantly calling it to receive trading instructions. The master EA will recognize only authorized slave EAs (which can be uniqutely identified by registration info, such as account number, account name, broker name, server name, etc) to prevent unauthorized usage. (I've set up a few of these, and they run great!)
Works well in many situations, but the polling concept is resource intensive, and not that good for fast EA's scalpers etc..

Its better in that case to make a tray client, allow a full time connection the server.. Dump to a poll file.. Let the EA poll very fast..

I agree, NEVER share a EA..

Most dont know, that its 100% legal to reverse engineer..

Unless..
1. you agree not to.
2. You try to sell it..
3. Claim it as your own..
4. Prob a few others...

But.. If you simply want to glance under the hood.. Nothing illegal about it..
