Licensing a Strategy

[jbhansen7]

I developed an automated strategy, and had it coded by one of your recommended Ninja Script consultants on the website. Now I would like to share it with a few friends and trading partners, but would like to keep the source code private…just in case I ever want to sell the thing…if not just for posterity…what is the process for licensing a strategy? Cost? Etc?
Thanks guys,
Jonathan

Hi,

Hi Jonathan,

Please send a note to sales at ninjatrader dot com with in the subject 'For Dan' and refer to this post.

Dan will further assist from there.

Jonathan,

You can use the built-in NT Export command and save the resulting file as a DLL, so the source is not viewable. It won't be "licensed" (you cannot selectively turn it on/off later in the field), but it would prevent the people you give it to from seeing the source.

Just exporting it as dll does not make it "invisible"
You would need to protect it using 3rd party tools.
You can send me unprotected dll, and I can send you your source code back within minutes.

I did not realize!

Thanks for letting me know.
