Locking Indicators

[BigEd 10]

From a coding perspective, how can I use the TS customer number to lock a strategy/indicator? I am writing a stratgey that I want to control the distribution of.

 

Is it as simple as using an IF statement in the code?

 

Thanks

BTW.... Once I get it working and post it here, it will be unlocked. I just dont want my trading group using it till it is done.

This is an eKam code

 

 

Ask your customer to send you his customer ID (aka Account Number, or Account ID in EL). Assuming his account ID is 12345678, change all the buy/sell statements to the following:

var:  
   thisGuysAccountID("12345678"), 
   expiration(ELDate(4,15,2005)), { month, day, year } 
   stillRuns(false); 

stillRuns =    date < expiration  
  and lastCalcDate < expiration  
  and  currentDate < expiration  
  and (LastBarOnChart = false  
       or GetAccountID = thisGuysAccountID); 

What this does is that it will still work for back testing, but not for real time bars unless the account ID matches. In any case, your strategy will only work for bars and charts before the expiration date, and only if the PC date has not reached the expiration date.

 

Verify the code and export the ELD protected, and send that particular ELD to him.

Account number is under Format, Account Orders .. Account no.
