Hiding Strategy Code

paxtonsm · 2019-09-01T14:50:34+00:00

Hi, is it possible to hide your strategy code to stop it been coped and resold? I am aware you can write an indicator with code in it, encrypt it and then call this up as a strategy. However, by using an indicator you are restricted as I don’t seem to be able to set trade timings or put any risk management code in the indicator. Not sure how to put this into the strategy in addition to the indicator code. Any ideas on how to hide code in a strategy or implement timing restriction’s in an indicator? Thanks in advance

As you know, ff you hide the code of the strategy, it will not be possible to trade it live (blackbox are not allowed in ProOrder). So the way you do by using a protected indicator to give signals is good. But, because ProBuilder (for indicators) can’t use instructions dedicated for automated trading (ProOrder), there are some limitations as you stated.

A code for timing restriction could be:
```
limitdate = 20191231

if date<limitdate then 
 // all indicators code
endif
```
