Disable indicator after a certain date

[KhaosTrader]

Hi,

I am wanting to ship a beta of some software, what is the best method of putting logic that will make the indicator not work after a certain date.

I bought the code obfuscation utility already.


Thank you in advance.

Hello KhaosTrader,

The best way to go about this would be to become part of NinjaTraders Vendor program in which license keys could be disabled after a certain time. If you’re interested in this please let us know and I can have someone from business development reach out with details.

Another method would be to add a line to the top of the code such as,

if (Time[0].Date > new DateTime(2017, 6, 10)) return;

Which if the current date was greater than the date of the 10th of June, the script would return. A clever user however could work around this.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi, ok when you say put that line in, do you recommend putting it in onthe "onbarupdate" area?
Thank you.

KhaosTrader,

Correct. The moment that becomes true, no further logic in the test will be ran.
