Are you sure?

I would have thought it was seeing your stops - on their system.

Can someone confirm that a broker can see the chart/screen indicators and can get a see the attached ea and possibly copy it, please??????

MetaSoftware maybe has more control than they ought to, but the broker?

The question was about " indicators, lines ....? " not parameters you send to your Broker to place your order . . .

No. When Raptor says probably not he really means no. You send server side stops to the broker. You do not send trailing stops from the terminal. If your EA is going to close a trade at a certain trailing stop there is no way the broker can know that. If MT4 sent your charts and indicator setup to the broker you would know because you could google it. There are goodness knows how many MT4 users and many are serious programmers. If that sort of spyware was built in then hackers would have found it by now or workers at brokers would have leaked it. Just calm yourself; it doesn't happen.

You mean like analysing the data packets sent over the network by the MT4 terminal.exe application ? ;-)

will broker be able to see all of that. Yes just indicators and other stuffs on chart. not about open orders or pending orders

What the heck is this? no advertiser here dude
 

Since the tightening of the rules and regulations for this industry in the USA, as of a year or so ago, the US Government has charged at least a dozen brokers with fraud. Many brokers aren't as closely regulated as the US ones are or not at all. Considering that, why not take what measures you can to give yourself the best security against this that you can? It isn't going to hurt anything, and it may protect you is needs be. More and more commercial EAs are coming out with 'Stealthy settings'. I'm incorporating such things as placing a very generous 'Fail Safe' Stop Loss on the broker's server, but calculating the Stop Loss that I want to use within the EA itself.
