Compiling add-ons with drawing tools and indicators in the same assembly

[blar58]

Hello

I am using Agile.dot to protect my assemblies that I sell to my customers.

I am offering a suite of indicators, drawing tools, indicators and SuperDOM columns all from the same assembly.

Does that may cause problems ?
or should I put them in different assemblies ( indicators, drawing tools, etc .... )

Thank you

Hello blar58,

Thanks for your post.

This would ultimately depend on your goal for distribution. If the suite of NinjaScripts is supposed to be a pack of items bundled together, you could export them all in the same assembly.

If you are offering something like an indicators pack, or a strategies pack that includes the indicator pack, you would need to export each of those as separate assemblies.

See this help guide page for more information about distribution: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...stribution.htm

Please let me know if I may further assist you.

Are you gonna sell them separately?

If not,
one DLL with everything is certainly the easiest way to go.

In my experience, the 'DLL' represents the 'product' you're selling,
so if each indicator can be purchased separately, then each
indicator should be in a separate DLL.

If multiple indicators (say, your drawing tools) all represent
one logical product, and therefore are being sold as a single
unit to your customers, then, by all means put those indicators
into a single DLL. Then, if the SuperDOM columns is a separate
product, that would go into a separate DLL. Why? Because it
could be a separate purchase.

I've seen vendors sell dozens of indicators, where each indicator
is in its own DLL, and I've seen vendors combine dozens of
indicators into a single DLL ... like I said, depends on the
definition of the 'product' you're selling.

IMHO, your life as a provider is much easier if you make each
product you sell be represented by single DLL. What goes into
each DLL is entirely up to you ...

Just my 2˘.

Yes it just confirms what I was already doing. I sell 3 different plans with different bundles so I am all set properly !

Thank you !
