Hahaha… yes carloss… I don’t know what I am talking about coz I am no programmer.

So the conclusion is that… when an EA is decompiled. Nothing is lossed. So you get 100% mq4 codes from the original ex4.

Thanks for enlightening me guys…

Funny article, the author does not know what he is talking about. It is appartent, that only variable names are lost for obvious reason – they are not stored in EX4 file. Their names are replaced by unique handles, which are also taken from the EX4 file.

I am a programmer and I can ensure you, that “variables are NOT lost” after decompilation process . Only the names have changed what makes no difference. The “95% accuracy” is your imagination. If you have doubts, just write some code with local and global variables, decompile it and compare the results. You can also make some backtests to be sure that nothing has lost.

Casey, it’s great to have such a person like you taking initiative to scrutinze decompiled EA file. I see alot decompiled commercial EA and have no way to compare it with original build as what you did here.
Those same variable name you spotted in sub-routine, they are safe to do in that way as variable declared in sub-routine is local to it only, so long as the variable being declared and used in that sub-routine, it doesn’t conflict with the globale variable although both has the same variable name. This is the beuty of C++ style programming.

If we can eliminate this variable name issue, I dont’ see any other decompile error prone problem, perhaps someone could scrutinze deeper to find out more. But this ex4 decompiler has its own weak point, not all ex4 file it can decompiles succesfully, I don’t want to point out here.

True.. true… but if anyone wants to trade live with decompile or free version… it’s up to them to assume the risk isn’t?

Anyhow… those who seek free or decompile version like me are risk takers…

Ok… don’t mean to generalize… but some might be because they can’t afford it and with so many BS around on the internet… you can’t blame them for trying to get their hands of free copy no??

Sure,
but for demo its OK and we can easily can detect some fake EA’s before buying.

great insight. That goes to show that if you wanna trade on a live account, then investing in an EA instead of getting a pirated one is safer
