Hi Sierra chart,
I have a dll auto trade file but the trader I built it for does not trust that your platform is secure enough to put it on. He says that sierrachart.com employees will still be able to take the file if they wanted to.

What do you have to rebut this type of argument for putting an auto trade file on your system?

thanks in advance.

We have no interest in studies and trading systems built by others. They mean nothing to us. What we do focus on is good quality and reliable software that meets the needs of the users and is well documented.

We cannot see the source code in the DLL file. And if it is secured with this method, then it can only be used by the authorized users:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Redistributing and Allowing Use Only by a Defined List of Users

In the cases where we have to test the studies in a DLL to troubleshoot a problem for a developer, we ourselves have to add our account into the list of authorize usernames, and the developer can see that. And when we are done testing we remove it. We have no backdoor way into a study. And as we said, we have no interest in anything developed by outside users.
