Just as a small note: in MQL5 the compiler already strips out variable names, function names and comments when generating the .ex5.

The executable is therefore already quite "opaque", so obfuscation by renaming identifiers doesn't really add an extra layer of protection here.

I was not aware of this. Thank you for elaborating.
