Publicado o código Adding password protection to your Indicator / Expert Advisor
Here I propose a simple password verification scheme which uses MT4's built-in security engine providing DES/ECB encryption and does not require code re-compilation for each new customer.

Thank you Claude. This is very helpful. Question: Does the master key need to be 7 char. ; or can it be longer.

Publicado o código Retrieve high impact events from ForexFactory.com and display them in your indicator or Expert Advisor
As I'm currently developing an Expert Advisor for Crude Oil and Brent, I wanted to get from ForexFactory.com the exact date and time of the 'Crude Oil Inventory' report. This report is typically issued on Wednesday's at 10:30am Eastern but when there's a holiday, the release date can change. As this is an important report for my EA, the only way was to check an online service to validate the release date.

Well I'm a little excited right now... Been working on the built-in 'Strategy Tester' mentioned in my previous post and I've been getting pretty good results thus far.
Here's a screen capture of last Friday's trading session after the EA has processed two weeks of end of day reviewing trading signals. Result was 249 points captured in a day that has a range of only 87 points with 8 wins and 0 losses.
Now the real test will be uploading the new code to the VPS and letting it run for another two weeks and seeing if I get similar results in live trading.

After 30+ years in the software industry, I know how 'feature creep' can cripple a delivery date for a project and mine is no exception! LOL!
I am hell bent on adding several features which will make this EA 'exceptional'. One of these features is a daily trade signal review. I keep track off all trades made in an XML file and use this file to optimize future trades. Before taking a position I look at this XML file with the trade signal being triggered and decide if in the past it has been a successful trade based on the RR and MaxRR values (the rate of return of the trade). If this RR value is below an acceptable risk level, the trade is not taken.
Sounds nice and technical doesn't it? Yeah, cool. But the EA would 'learn' more of the current market conditions if at the end of the day it would review all trade signals for the day and evaluate the RR and MaxRR values for the trades it did not take as well. This, I think, would make it learn faster and adapt to current market conditions proactively instead of basing it's trade decisions solely on past successful trades.
Yes... What I'm trying to build into this EA is a Strategy Tester like the one we use to test our code in the MT4 platform.
Am I trying to bite off too much or trying to do something that's impossible? Perhaps. Time will tell... There's a saying that I love when programming... "Nobody told them it was impossible to build, so they built it.".
Cheers!

Currently programming an Expert Advisor specific to Crude Oil. Not your average simple MA cross-over EA with no logic behind it, this EA understands crude oil and knows the trade setups specific to identified time periods during the day. Been at it now for 2 months and should have a beta release shortly.

I would be very interested in this. I currently trade crude weekly options with 50/50 results based on 31 EMA.
