Folks do not use any free ea's or robots in your live accounts if the ea's have .dll files. The dll files are capable for transmitting details about your account back to a server belonging to the ea creator and so compromise the security of your live accounts!

This is exactly what i was warning about. So if you suddenly find an unexplained withdrawal, check to see if you have been using any of these free ea's.

that's rude too. minute ago i post some ea case on the member longe at the 'moderator alert' thread. please do some check. some says brokerage nowadays could read your ea setting, and do some act with it, the your ea will do some error act, totaally different when we use to back test. gotta diggin more info for this one. as now still have no idea why such an famous ea would do some mistake, a very uncommon mistake. |

well you would be surprised at how much .dll files can do...right now i am working with an ea with a dll file that actually comunicates with a ftp server to upload not just signals but actual transactions. This is the next generation of ea's where people will not be able to decompile them and then copy them for free. But it also means that unscrupulous operators can down load the entire contents of your computer within minutes if they wanted to, so bank account details and passwords etc will be easily obtained.
In my opinion, only a fool would set up ea's with .dll files active without knowing who and what exactly is being sucked out of these connections.

interesting, it's more dangerous than a phising act. unable to decompile could be mean more expensive tha usual ea. if the use 21 port as communicate, even they can shut dhown our computer if they wanted to :).
but fact is, all of these are make manual trade are much much better than having rely on someone else script, unless we can built one. |

NOT ALL DLLS ARE BAD
farizu, this is good info to know - regarding free expert advisors, however it is important too that traders don't become fearful of all EAs that use DLL's.
In most cases the DLL's that are used are already a part of one's Windows Operating System. For example a DLL can be used to tell an EA what time it is in your time zone. Many and maybe most pieces of software on people's computers use DLLs all the time. That's why they are there.
Though I appreciate your post and think it's very good info to know, my agreeing point here is that traders should only use DDL imports on EAs that come from sources that they trust. But again I don't think traders should fear them every time they are used. DLLs can be very helpful too!
For example. I helped code the tbx tradebox expert advisor. It uses DLLs but not in a way that is harmful. One use of the DLL is simply to detect the charts background color. If its white, - the EA draws objects in black and if the charts is black it draws them in white.
Please don't misunderstand my post. I agree with you regarding Free EAs which is the main topic here.
Thank you for letting me reply in your thread. |

A very well reasoned post, and I agree that as long as you can trust the source, then there should be no problems with using DLLs.
would you care to say more about the expert advisor that you helped code? What is the trading strategy it uses and how profitable is it?

@ farizu (i can't seem to quote your post), but to answer your question -
It is as profitable as you want it to be :)
Its a manual trading expert advisor. It lets you place your own trades directly from the chart.
Secondly , a person can use it to back test their own systems through simulated trading of past data.
