Using the freelance section

 
Hello dear teachers and friends,

I am considering obtaining the source codes for my EA in the Metatrader 4 version through the Freelancer section of the Metatrader 5 version. However, I am concerned about whether hiring a freelancer and providing them with the source codes might compromise the security and strategy of the EA. I am seeking advice on how to ensure the security of the EA while collaborating with a freelancer. Are my concerns valid, or am I being overly cautious about this matter? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
