What is the most secure way to code and protect strategy with Sierra Charts?

I am having it coded with a developer so need to understand what steps I need to do so I don't get locked out my strategy etc

I understand you can make C++ code very secure with binary code use?


Thanks

Protect it in what way?

Compiled C++ code cannot be decompiled back into source code.

As long as the study/strategy is developed using unmanaged C++ code which it would need to be, it is inherently protected. Nothing special has to be done.

Custom strategies/studies developed for Sierra Chart have to be developed using unmanaged C++ code.

Do you have a developer doing the programming for you? They just need to provide you with the source code. As long as you have that, then there is nothing to be concerned with.

Source code is contained in a file with a CPP extension. If you have a developer doing the programming, then just make sure they provide you the CPP files.

To make sure you have all of them you can compile them through Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL:

The contractor might hold copyrights on his work.
From what I understand here : http://asp-software.org/www/misv_resources/business-articles/who-owns-the-code/
you need him to sign an agreement saying it was "work-made-for-hire"
"Third, and most significant, a commissioned and copyrightable work will only be considered "work-made-for-hire" owned by the client if the parties have a written agreement signed by the developer that explicitly states that the work is "work-made-for-hire."
