Hey guys, I have several MT4 EAs in .ex4 format, NO source code (.mq4). I want to protect them with a wrapper/encryption and add usage limits when sharing: Trial period (e.g., 7/14 days)Lock to specific MT4 account number I’m okay with paid tools or services—just need something reliable that works with compiled EX4 files (no source available). What’s the best way to do this? Any recommended protectors, wrappers, or services you’ve used? Thanks a lot!

1. EX4 protection is weaker than source-level protection because you cannot cleanly modify the EA logic without MQ4 source.2. Most “EX4 protectors” are scams, and can break the EA.3. Strong licensing is best done inside the MQ4 source code before compiling.4. You can upload to MQL5 and use their Built-In protection.



I do have some alternatives to get what you require, dm me if you're open to know.
