I wanted to share a Strategy I have worked on over the years with a fellow trader. I only wanted it to work for a short period of time and would have a password on EL access. I remember I was told once that there is an EL statement that you can put at the bottom that reads the date and if the date has passed, the Strategy will not execute any signals.
Can anyone provide an example?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?
Kevin: Even if I use a real long password and really mix it up? I read a few articles on how to design very hard to break passwords. I have rented a TradeStation system in the past and I couldn't use it after a short period of time - say 30 days. I am sure the owner of the code used a statement like yours. Do all of these TS/EL strategy designers sell their system at high risk of them being stolen? Thanks in advance for your help. John
There is a website that will decrypt ANY locked Tradestation code, unless it is from the Tradestation Network or App Store. I don't think password complexity has any bearing on it.
