Is there a way to compile to an EA to an .exe to protect your code?

Is there a way to compile to your EA to an .exe and have the metatrader call the .exe EA to execute the trade? I'd like to know of any good solutions to protect one's code. Thanks!

Your question is a bit simplistic - the issue is the underlying technology rather than the extension name.

There are many post already about protection of EA strategies.

Just do a search on this forum.

If you want to protect your strategy 100%, the answer is not to distribute the mq4 files, ex4 files or any elements of the IP. This may, depending on the simplicity of your strategy, extend to signals and lot sizes etc. so you may also want to avoid providing access via an investor password too, instead just providing your clients with results and nothing more.

BEST way to protect is to use a managed account system like oanda has or something so they never touch the software...I've yet to see a way to make MT4 EA's completely

secure...but maybe there is a way somehow
