Is it possible for MT4 programmers to hack into other trader accounts

Through their indiors?

When the indior references an external DLL, then it's possible to do almost anything on the server computer including deleting documents and capturing keystrokes. I'm not certain how he would receive your password, if you don't switch between accounts....

Interesting. What about seeing your charts etc? A few of these free indiors onforexintuitivehave this choice. How would the developer know who's using the indior? Incidentally, what exactly does the external DLL do (and DLL signifies...? ) ) .

Thanks.

DLL = Dynamic Link Library. Consider this as a shared library which many progr can get to discuss common code. MT4 includes a few include libraries which can be contained in the code of indiors but aren't shared. DLLs are written outside of MT4 from programing languages such as C or Basic Sharp and are intended to provide performance that can't be written from MQL4 like sharing information with other appliions without using documents.

I'm unsure what you mean by seeing your charts. 1 computer cannot view what another is doing unless the person allows access or your firewall has been breached. Maybe you could offer a link to one of these and I will better understand what your concern is.

I have posted a number of free indiors onforexintuitiveand I don't have any idea who's using them unless they post a thank you. From the view count, I know how many people have downloaded them, but I don't have any idea who they are or if in fact they are using them after downloading. As a rule I don't use DLLs in my code and if I did, I'd post the appropriate warning.

Thanks for this CodeMeister. Wishing you a PM. Some traders had said the concern that if they were to sign up for a contest with a broker, would they be able to see what the trader had in their charts. Is there a way for brokers to do this?

FX4

So essentially I should just make sure none of my indiors have DLL on?

Some indiors won't work without DLL selected so the only option you have is to use them or be wary. There's a Forex Calendar indior that's extremely popular with this forum. It requires a DLL to download the calendar from this site. It is safe to use as most have been doing that without having any difficulty.

I would be wary of any indior with a DLL unless I understood its workings and had any idea of this author. Also I would never be the very first to try it.

Thx for the advice. What's the title of the favorite calendar indior?

If I frequently switch between accounts, does it dangerous and somebody can know my password? Need excuse. Because yesterday my friend's MT4 account has been hacked and someone trade the account. My buddy have several account in 3 firms. Waiting for your explanation. Thank you

No doubt your friend was careless and someone took advantage. Can he lose any cash?

Here's some additional discussion and guie.
