Encrypting my very good EA

[adibi83]

Hi there...

So, I developed a very good EA (IMHO), comprised of 5 algos, back tested it for 14 years (using tickstory, even though my algos are not day-trading), run it on a live account for the last year... I like the results.

Anyway, I'm finding some investors and will need to open a joint account with them. How do I protect mt ex4 file? I've read in different forums and that seems to be a problem. The DLL method isn't that great and these ex4 encryption programs aren't working either, based on what I read.

Enlighten me pls... is there a solution (and pls don't tell me to sell it because I don't want to...)

Whats your problem?

Open the joint account and run the EA on your computer.

You only have to protect your computer. Your investors only have access to the account with the executed orders.

If you're accepting funds from your investors and they only want read-only access to your single account, just give each investor an MT4 Investor Password.

If they have their own accounts and they want to copy your trades, get a remote trade copier.
