Re: Packaging EL strategies for sale

If you really, really care. For example, if you're charging 1,000s for your work, .dlls aren't a great answer either. They can be disassembled easily and then reverse engineered. No need to worry about your basic TS user. But a hedge fund may find the process cost effective. If it really matters obfuscation and encryption technologies should be used too.

How do you package and distribute your EL strategies for sale right now?

If you distribute strategies in ELDs then is there enough protection

I don't think so.  Maybe the TS8 ELDs are tougher to crack.  As
far as I'm concerned, the moment a strategy is released it becomes
visible to the world, effectively, because a determined person will
figure out how to crack it.

The most secure way is to write key calculations of your strategy in
a compiled DLL, and distribute that.
