Hide the visual mode

[roar]

I'm thinking of sharing my eas to other traders, but I don't want others to reverse engineer my artwork

Is there some way to block the reverse engineering using MT visual testing mode?

I know there is a function to hide indicators in MQL4 - HideTestIndicators(). But this is not added to fxDreema, because it's MQL4 only and I don't want to add things that work only in one language anymore.

if you want to stop the whole EA when someone tries to backtest it, you can do that in "on Init". Connect the block who checks for testing and then the Terminate block.

Thanks!
I'd still like the EA to be back testable, just not in visual.

Maybe I will do some research on how the HideTestIndicators applies to mt5..

@roar and did you find anything to not have other traders ''copy'' the ea

[roar]

@wessel Actually there is many ways to protect your work - you can set a password condition, date limit, and use the "if testing" block.
I never found the option to only hide visual mode, though. I think you have to block backtesting altogether.
