Algo file protection
04 Oct 2022, 16:27


I downloaded cTrader the other day and I've been porting over my code from other platforms. I'm unsure if my algo files are being protected as intended - with little work I'm able to retrieve the source, even if I've supposedly built it without. 

What processes do you follow to properly hide your source (ignoring obfuscation)?

Hi pick,

.algo files are encrypred but obviously there is a limit to what you can do with an IL based dll file. If your work is so important, you should consider other solutions.

That's a shame, but understandable. Thank you for clarifying.
