How can I restrict imported strategy

[DanielRaz]

Hi everyone.
I find a way to share my strategy bot using the import under tools. but my question is that if I send it to someone how can I be sure that he will send it to someone else can I do something to prevent it? or maybe there is a better way ti handle this situation ?

Hello DanielRaz,

The vendor licensing can lock a script to specific machines, however support for this is not provided publicly over the forum.

Please contact info [at] ninjatraderecosystem.com and let them know you would like to lock a script to a specific machine and they should provide you the necessary code.
(replace the [at] with @, we post publicly email addresses this way to avoid web crawlers that scrap email addresses for spam)


You would also need to export the script as a compiled assembly so the code cannot be read or shared and optionally you can use Agile.NET to prevent the code from being un-assembled (deobfuscated).

To export your script do the following:

1. Click Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript
2. Click the 'add' link -> check the box(es) for the script(s) you want to include -> click OK
3. Check the option labelled Export as compiled assembly
4. If you have Agile.NET installed and would like to use this, check the box labelled Protect compiled assembly
5. Click Export -> enter a unique name for the file in the Dialog window
6. Choose a save location -> click Save
7. Click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>
