Strange Code

New comment
 

I have just had a MT5 EA made for me ... Now I have the code I am a little unsure about part of it ... I cannot see the relevance ... The name, broker, account number and markets are all wrong

Are they piggybacking on my EA ?

The only part I can accept is the expiry date

Is it cause for concern or totally innocent ?

const  string                          EAName                   = "BLAC Man";
const  bool                            CheckPassword            = false;                       //Check Password
const  string                          Password                 = "BLACEA777";                 //EA Password
const  bool                            CheckExpiry              = false;                        //Check Expiry Date
const  datetime                        ExpiryDate               = StringToTime("2024.03.22 [17:17]"); //Expiry Date
const  bool                            CheckLogin               = false;                        //Check Account Number
const  string                          AccountNumbers           = "61219277";                  //Trading Accounts
const  bool                            CheckBroker              = false;                       //Check Broker
const  string                          BrokerName               = "Pepperstone Group Limited"; //Broker Names
const  bool                            CheckLeverage            = false;                       //Check Leverage

const  bool                            CheckOwner               = false;                       //Check Account Owner
const  string                          Owner                    = "Derrick Mutange";           //Account Owners

I would guess these settings are from testing and development..

Nothing to worry about here. Those are for the demo period, you can adjust them as you wish. Many coders will license Ea's for their customers as well, and these settings can be adjusted by changing acc nr, demo period and so on, see it as security for your Ea, so that no one else can use it without permission

 
Thank you both for your input ... appreciated :)
