Hail the reader,

Some time ago I had one of my systems which consisted of various indicators, converted to DLL - I would like to use some of the indicators which made up this system, however the dll conversion I had done at that time precludes me from deploying these as indicators on my charts.

Can this process be reversed.... by me who has NO coding experience?

Some pointers please?

Thank you

No, impossible.
DLL is produced from C-lamguage code, not mql. Right, mql is very-very simplified C, but there alot of constructions from C with no support in mql.
I dont know tool to fo this job. In the best case, possible to create assembler code from DLL or very hard-readable C code, but it has not any practical value, result is far from human understanding. You will not reverse lpgic , it is work for yesr or more for very experiendec programer.
But try search for conversion tools, maybe, something exists.

I'm afraid hanzov is correct. As far as I know, there is no straightforward way of reverse engineering DLL files. You would need to obtain a disassembler, but this would not reconstruct the original indicators' .mq4 files. As is almost always the case, a lot of the useful information is lost during the compilation process.

To obtain further information, you could try Googling something like "how to deconstruct DLL files".

I expect that the simplest course of action would be to have a programmer re-code the indicators that you require, from scratch.

Thank you for all the replies...though I now know where I am at. the news is not good... must now have the indicators re-coded...

Thank you - the people on this forum are truly helpful and I appreciate this very much
