Yes this is possible but most people would not want to trade with a system that relies on a computer and network out of their control. If your machine goes down then they won't have functionality. I'm working on a similar thing (different concept I'm sure), I've been trying to give it some thought as well.

Hi Keith, my plan is to let other Amibroker users use it for free. Then if a lot of Amibroker users like it, I would eventually have a website that would auto deduct a small monthly fee for using it. If a user decides to stop using it , then they would simply go to the website, and cancel the monthly deduct amount from happening.
I am assuming that DLLs can be made that will work only after the small monthly user fee is deducted. Am I wrong?

Converting to a .dll
should prevent others from seeing your source code. But it does not
prevent others from using it. To do that, you will have develop or
purchase some sort of a scheme that prevents installation of
unregistered software.

Hi
Hydro, I want to do the same thing. Marcin told me that I need a DLL
library.
TJ said that ADK plug ins require that AFL code with operators must be
recoded in order to work
from DLL plugins created with the Amibroker Development Kit.
Unfortunately, I am not a C++ programmer.
Maybe we could share in the cost, if any, of having a C++ Programmer
develop a DLL template that we could each add our intellectual
propertys "in place of any old coding"
that a C++ programmer would need to use in order to insure that the DLL
actually works with Amibroker.
Even after we have a DLL template, we will probably need to have our
coded RECODED to work within the DLL.

Sharing AFL while protecting intellectual property
I need a way to share my work with others in a way that allows AFL
execution on their computer without revealing my source code. I also
need a way to prevent the AFL from being distributed freely and executed
by unauthorized individuals.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
