Hidden Code in Code

Hello,

Im currently having an expert advisor programmed, one of the features within the expert advisor is a SMS TXT with all trade details sent to my phone. How can I determine that all trade details arent being sent to HIS phone as well, or something similar? Im not willing to post the code on this forum for review.

Best Regards,

Mike

Check for something called the "SendMail" function.

Or if he's sending SMS Messages via dll, make sure that you only see your phone number and no other ones.

There are at least 5 other ways I can think of, but it's hard to explain without seeing the code.


If you're really concerned about this programmer getting the trade details, learn to program it yourself. This programmer already knows the system you're using.

No see he really dosent know the system because i had him program a broad range of variables for that purpose. Thanks for your input

If you would be willing to explain those 5 seperate ways Id be willing to pay you.

I'm sure it can be figured out by optimizing the variables.

As for the 7 ways:

 

1. SendMail
2. SMS dll
3. Website-backend
4. FTP-upload to a server the programmer controls
5. e-mail dll
6. ftp-upload via dll
7. combined 'super-dll'

Basic rule of thumb, if it uses a dll, you better have the source code to that dll because it becomes far more difficult to decompile the code.

No lol. this method has nothing to do with the variables, only Implementation. Maybe you should write a guide on this sort of thing, people would certainly be willing to purchase.

Would someone that has no knowledge of forex but is fluent in programming be able to identify any irregularities?

bump

Yes.

awesome thanks

I think 7bit requires the code.

I can already imagine how the code looks like, even without having ever seen it, only judging from comments the OP made in other threads: The EA is a simple martingale EA and the programmer will be happy if his email address won't get spammed with every boring double-the-lotsize notification. The only interesting event that a martingale EA can ever create is the unescapable destroy-all-gains-and-even-more-event. And even this event may only be of interest to the programmer if there are still some other unfinished projects or other ongoing business relationships or plans for such.

I swear, You and miss cleo need to get together.
