Re: [amibroker] Protecting the code, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Ronald, I could have been in your computer class :-) remember dropping your cards?

To write a simple DLL is doable for almost anyone, just copy the nearest example, compile it, and make it run. Then bit by bit make small changes, compiling after each SMALL change. This way you don't get swamped by compounded errors that are impossible to debug for someone with our background. Because AFL has become so powerful the need to write DLLs is virtually gone, i haven't done it for many years.

This will get you off the ground with a running DLL, but how to make a DLL to encrypt AFL... I have no clue about that.

Hi Herman and others>>Will DLL, be easier FOR ME to learn than SQL, and PHP active web pages??

===========================================================

I have spent many hours developing some 100%AFL BASED code.

My general coding abilty is limited to a HALF HOUR COLLEGE COURSE using PUNCH CARDS and FORTRAN

My AFL CODING ability was acquired by devoting a massive number of HOURS TESTING many different self created ALGORITHMS to smooth the past hundred DAYS OF EOD price data, via the builtin AMIBROKER OSCILLATOR indicators.

PERSONAL FRIENDS are dropping by in order to VIEW charts of their PORTFOLIOS.

Later on, I want to ALLOW THE PUBLIC to view charts of any SYMBOL via a >FREE website similar to STOCKCHARTS.COM

A website DEVELOPER told me that a WEBSITE like this can be CREATED, with SQL, PHP active pages.

He told me that if this is done correctly, then no one could access to the actual AFL coding.

I am assuming that it will take me a long time to learn how to CREATE AND HAVE EXCLUSIVE CONTROL of a FUTURE website.

If I CORRECTLY understood the WEBSITE developer, then DLL protection would not be necessary if I HAVE EXCLUSIVE CONTROL of a FUTURE WEBSITE.

I haven't heard anyone doing it. There is a DLL tutorial on the AmiBroker site.
