There is nothing wrong with the above charging mechanism as long as it is
 based on the # of lines of code.
I would like that option.

Some may like this option, especially with entire personal EL libraries to
be converted.

This is the best approach if you can pull it off....but I'm not sure it
can be done and made truly cross-platform and portable.
For instance, if my signal uses OpenPositionProfit and other Easy Language
