Hi all,

I have an EA that I would like to place an expiration date on the EA. Does anyone know where this code is suppose to be place in the .mq4 files to work properly.


int start()
{
string expire_date = "2006.31.06"; //<-- hard coded datetime
datetime e_d = StrToTime(expire_date);

if (CurTime() >= e_d)
{
Alert ("The trial version has been expired!");
return(0);
}
// your normal code!
return(0);
}


Thanks
troy

This is worthless to do since I have the idea that you are going to try to sell it with a free trial etc. It can easily be decompiled and the expiration will be removed anyways. Don't bother since this is what is going to happen anyways.
