OK, so I have made myself an EA and am very proud of it. So proud that I'm thinking to sell it to others. But I want it to be used only by the customers, not to be shared online or re-sold for less. Therefore it has to be sold as ex5/ex5 (ie encrypted) and it must contain an input field where the

I read somewhere MQL 4/5 is not as fast in execution as using C++ to write algo`s, granted i`m new. I just wanted to preferably use raw C++ instead of learning another scripting language. Are there coding benefits in the types of things you can create/do with MQL that are longer harder in C++? Thank

When testing an EA in the strategy tester, code changes after the first test do not seem to be reflected correctly in subsequent tests. Example scenario: 1.
