how to put a pw on indicator

[brucelevy]

is there a way to require a password or serial number for an indicator?

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

There are numerious ways to do this, one is for Vendors of NinjaTrader to use the Machine ID for vendor licensing.

If this is more of a personal script or you would just like to protect a script in general, a simple string property could be used to allow the user to enter a password.

here is a simple property that could be used:

[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public string Password
{
get { return password; }
set { password = value; }
}

In the scripts logic, you could check if Password is equal to a value or do other logic based on its value. If it is empty, the user has not entered a password.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I will give it a try, but also where can I find out more information on using it with specific Machine ID's? Thanks.

can you give an example of how to check if the entered password meets the real password

Hello,

Thank you for the questions.

For using the machine id, this would be a Vendor license specific item used by third party vendors. For this please email our platform support @ ninjatrader.com and our Buisness Development can assist furthing in this topic.

Regarding an example, a simple if could be used such as:

if(Password == "SomePassword")
{
    //do some logic
}
else
{
    //wrong password
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
