Export of code

  Hi all. I’m not new to PRT and coding, but I have a question about exporting a system and protecting it. I know you can export it to either have the code not modifiable or not modifiable and unique import. However, when you export a system this way you cannot Prepare for Automated trading. So how do you share your system, protecting it and still allow someone else to use it?

  Thanks

  Hello davidp13, you are right this is not possible for legal and security reasons. People can’t execute system that they don’t know how it works (black boxes concept). Codes are executed server side and PRT cannot be involved in any controversial use of a code which the owner don’t know a thing about..

  I’m trying to understand the purpose of option 3

  • Choose the third option if you do not want the code to be modifiable and only want the code to be importable one time (useful if you want to send the code to another user but don’t want them to be able to redistribute the code).

  If they can still see the code,  can’t they just copy it and re-distribute it as their own export?

  The answer is in your sentence :

   

  • Choose the third option if you do not want the code to be modifiable and only want the code to be importable one time (useful if you want to send the code to another user but don’t want them to be able to redistribute the code).

  Got it? 🙂

  You have started two conversations in two different forums on the same subject. I will delete the one in the platform support forum as Nicolas is already assisting you here which is the correct place for this question. Please try to not double post with future questions. 🙂

  @Abz

  It is now possible (since months) to execute a strategy that are using not readable indicators’codes, but the strategy must be readable. So the best thing to do is to separate all the trading decisions into an indicator that generates signals and CALL it into a ProOrder that only serve to BUY/SELLSHORT/SET STOP LOSS/etc.

  Example of what the indicator should do:

  • signal=0 (nothing to do)
  • signal=1 (open buy order)
  • signal=-1 (open sell order)
  • signal=2 (put order to breakeven)
  • etc….
