How to set that ea ex.4 file would expire at my wanted date.

Read this thread https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/174194

and

this Codersguru article http://www.metatrader.info/node/132

 

I added this code to EA:

Trial period protection:

int start()

{

string expire_date = "2006.31.06"; //<-- hard coded datetime

datetime e_d = StrToTime(expire_date);

if (CurTime() >= e_d)

{

Alert ("The trial version has been expired!");

return(0);

}

// your normal code!

return(0);

}

But it did not give any warning or today is market closed it will not work properly?

 

Hi jyrik,

1- try this code:

datetime expire_date = D'31.06.2006'; //<-- hard coded datetime

if (TimeCurrent() >= expire_date)

{

Alert ("The trial version has been expired!");

return(0);

}

2- CurTime() is abandoned function now, use TimeCurrent() instead.

3- To test the code while the market off put it in init().

I always bury the trade logic of my EA's in a companion .dll which also includes a date timer so the unscrupulous rat bastards that like to decompile EA's will be crap outa luck.

 

Hello

Anyone know how can i add a variable date of expiration like if they start/load the first time the EA it can go for 7 days before it expires.

 

EA expiration

Does anyone know where I am suppose in place this code in MT4 to make it work.

1- try this code:

PHP Code:

datetime expire_date = D'31.06.2006'; //<-- hard coded datetime

if (TimeCurrent() >= expire_date)

{

Alert ("The trial version has been expired!");

return(0);

}

2- CurTime() is abandoned function now, use TimeCurrent() instead.

3- To test the code while the market off put it in init().

Thanks

 

Hi MLaden,

Can you help me coding an expire date in indicator code? Do you have an example I can use what works?

Thx Marco

You can use something like this at the beginning of the start() :

if (TimeCurrent()>=D'23.06.2014 00:00') return(0);

 

Is it decompiler proof?
