Encrypt strategy

[7robert]

Hello, I would like to know if there is any way to encrypt a strategy, so that another person can use it without seeing the code.

Thanks!

Hello 7robert,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, you can export your scripts as a protected assembly directly from NinjaTrader:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/index.html?export.htm#ExportingninjascriptAsAssembly

Although .NET DLL files are compiled which prevents users from being able to see your proprietary source code, they are still subject to decompilation and reverse engineering attempts. If you want a higher level of security, you can select the "Protect compiled assemblies" option which adds an additional layer of protection. This additional protection layer is provided by SecureTeam's Agile.NET product which has been licensed by NinjaTrader and available at a reduced price to protect NinjaTrader assemblies.

You can learn more and purchase this through SecureTeam's publicly available website here:

It's just dependent on how secure you want your code to be.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Ok perfect, and can I compile files with extension .cs?

Hello 7robert,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, you would compile the .cs files generated by the editor into a .DLL as above.

I wrote in to platform support. They told me to use Agile.NET. They charge $790 for just a simple version. Is secureteam cheaper? Encrypting code with Ninjatrader has always been a hassle. Never get the same answer twice. I would just like to lock my code - real simple. Thanks

Hello JerryA,

Thank you for your reply.

SecureTeam offers their Agile.NET product to NinjaTrader users at a reduced price - I believe it appears to be $100 per year. You can learn more and purchase this through SecureTeam's publicly available website here:

Hi, I have purchased Agile.NET product for NinjaTrader 5 days ago. Unfortunately, I received only automatically generated email asking me to provide MAC address and some additional information so they can create a node-locked license. However, there was no follow up on my reply and I am starting to feel like I was scammed. How tight are you with the company? I tried to reach out to them over the phone but nobody was picking it up.

Hello @tmc_,

Thank you for your reply.

Generally there's about a 24 hour turn around on responses from them - has it been more than that since you sent your information back to them? If so, I would make sure you check your spam folders in your email. They may be a little backed up. If there's any further complications or issues, you can email our Business Development team directly at info[at]ninjatraderecosystem[dot]com.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hi Kate. It took them over a week but I got their reply with the license key and I was able to verify my copy of the software.
