Rules for Marketplace Products

[Lorraine Pierce]

Hello,

Support mentioned that I cannot show an image displaying profit/money. But they did not clarify if showing pip gains is allowed? They closed the case before I could reply. 

So .....

1. Where to find the rules for posting products on marketplace

2. Can you show a screenshot of a trade that took place and made pip gain? (with no money showing)

IV. Products

1. The Product offered through the Market service can be provided only as a compiled file with the EX5/EX4 extension.
2. Products must not contain calls to any DLL, including Microsoft Windows system libraries.
3. The Product must not:
   • guarantee, promise or hint at profits through the Product name, logo, screenshots or description;
   • contain words and expressions in superlative degree relating to Product features or the underlying concept;
   • present trading strategy backtest results as real trading results, whether expressly or implicitly;
   • contain links to external resources to be used as a description;
   • contain flashy/immodest titles of description sections or Product names;
   • use images of money or valuables in any form;
   • use any pictures of non-aesthetic nature as a Product icon or screenshots.
   The Product shall be described in a calm manner using simple clear sentences without slang and abbreviations.
4. The Seller shall not sell or distribute any harmful products through the Market service.
5. The Seller shall not integrate and apply any third-party sales, accounting, license control and update management systems (including the ones using WebRequest features) in Products.
6. The Seller shall not collect users' personal data by means of Products or implement additional custom limitations on the functionality of MQL4/MQL5 applications.
7. The Seller shall not publish multiple copies of Products, which are based on the same idea and differ only in input parameter settings, symbols, and/or timeframes. Creation of similar Products having slightly changed descriptions and/or design shall be considered as spam and lead to the removal of all detected copies from the Market showcase, while the Seller shall be banned from all paid MQL5.com services.
8. The Seller can distribute Products through the Market service at no cost (free of charge).
9. The minimum price of a paid Product that can be offered through the Market service is $30.
10. Products purchased through the Market service can not be returned.
11. For each Buyer, a secure version of the Product is automatically created, which allows using it only on the equipment (computer hardware and operating system), from which a purchase request was sent.
    Purchased Product is bound to specific devices and specific copy of an operating system. Thus, the protection does not allow to launch a Product, even if a hardware was substituted to the exactly the same one or if an operating system of the same type was reinstalled.
12. The purchase of the Product is registered in the Buyer's account.
13. The fact of creation of a secure version of the Product for the Buyer's equipment configuration is called Activation.
14. The number of free Product Activations available to the Buyer on another PC after purchasing the Product is defined by the Seller. The minimum number of such Activations is 4.
15. The Buyer purchases the right to activate a Product as many times as specified by the Seller at the moment of purchasing or renting this Product. For example, if a Product allows 20 activations at the moment of its purchase, the Buyers can install it on 20 different hardware + OS configurations even if the Seller will decrease this number afterwards.
16. All input parameters names, output messages and screenshots in the product description must be in English.
17. The Administration may remove a Product from the Market showcase for an additional check or in case the Seller does not respond to the Administration's requests. All Buyers of a removed Product can still download and install it in their MetaTrader platforms within the available number of activations.

2. Can you show a screenshot of a trade that took place and made pip gain? (with no money showing)

I think thats okay , otherwise we would only be showing losing trades in the program screenshots (which are essential to portray how it enters the market)
