I use an indicator

I fear that in some future update it stops working
how do I save the code it now

and able to rebuild the index and make it work again
Example: store the information as it is made so it can be "reconstructed", "rebuilt"

If you have the original source code (.mq4 file), you have nothing to do.

If you don't have the original source code, there's nothing that can be done.

If it is not a commercial indicator there are many decompilers

But many of the best coders like FerruFx, won't use decompilers.

1/ That's illegal

2/ If I am not mistaken, since the new builds (600+) decompiling is no longer possible.

it can be done with the .ex4 file, first decompile and then rename the variables.

it is not illegal if the EA is not commercial.

If you don't have the .mq4 file, that means that the author isn't willing to share it ... So that will be illegal to decompile the crypted file without the author consent.

Commercial or not, this has nothing to do with the rights on the source code.

too much presumptions...
maybe he had the .mq4 file and he lost it
maybe he have the consent of the author
maybe the .mq4 file was posted by the author in a forum and he doesn't remember where he toke it from
if he only uses for his own benefit and doesn't sell or share the decompiled file it is not illegal.

Dear UGO.FX,

the most simple and best way is to find the author from that indicator
and this should be easy by doing some searches and then to keep an good contact with him or her.

Respecting peoples work and knowledge and maybe also paying some fees is the best and most fair way.
The Author will be able to change future requirements on the code and when not, can be found an solution.

You are fearing that the indi doesnt work anymore, that means you are doing money with it, why not
sharing a bit from the money with this one which help you to do this money.

My experience with coders like Ferru is that the dont ask you huge amounts for there work.
Just simple speak with them.

Kind regards

Jo

Wow some of you paranoids are so uptight: "I don't post my code in forums anymore because someone will decompile it!" What, are you afraid someone will make money on your code for free? Well your e.a. cant be making that much if you're worried about losing out on the few dollars you could charge for it. And are someone elses profits going to eat into yours. Relax people. Let me tell you how to make your e.a. even more profitable by making its signals even stronger... get as many people as possible to use those signals. So stop whinging and relax. If you believe that you'll make more money from retailing your code than you would by using it to trade then it can't be up to much now can it?.
