Decompiling ML Files

[Fx1.Net]

We have got several emails about decompiled ML output files. ML does not prevent decompiling. This is important point to understand. Decompilers can decompile ML converted files, this is not big problem because of many reasons:

a) after decompilation your source code contains obfuscated source code! This code even contains lines and statements they are there simply to obfuscate hackers. If you try to change converted mql file you will understand how hard it is to change anything even before decompiling. First part of ML prevents people to understand your algoritm!

b) even after decompilation most of parts from mql is exported to .dll file and its compiled with anti hacking mechanism. One must understand all exported functions and hack them one by one in order to reach an EA can work!!

c) even dll is obfuscated; we generate different dll files by every project. Even same project will be generated x different way everytime you try to convert! This makes every project unique. It makes no sense to try to crack one particular dll file. It may be even good to convert same project x different way and split this to your group. this would even increase your confident.
d) dll has licencing mechanism; even if someone skip every particular method protection, this someone also has to skip licencing mechanism.
e) more stuff which is secret of ml

Good job on your work. I have stuff that I would not release into the market for fear of easy decompilation.
This gives me hope.
