Place expiration on EA

 

Hi all,

I have an EA that I would like to place an expiration date on the EA. Does anyone know where this code is suppose to be place in the .mq4 files to work properly.

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);

}

Thanks

troy

 

This is worthless to do since I have the idea that you are going to try to sell it with a free trial etc. It can easily be decompiled and the expiration will be removed anyways. Don't bother since this is what is going to happen anyways.
