Developer Integration Guide

Sell Your EA on Ultimate Extractor

Add license protection to your Expert Advisor with just 3 function calls. We handle payments, license keys, and seat management — you focus on building great EAs.

What You Get

Store Listing

Your EA listed in the UE Store with its own product page, description, and screenshots

License Protection

TridentGuard license checks compile into your EA, so customers need a valid license while your strategy source stays private

Payment Processing

Stripe handles one-time purchases and recurring subscriptions automatically

Seat Management

Customers activate/deactivate MT5 accounts from their dashboard — no work for you

Integration Steps

Get the TridentGuard Header

TridentGuard is a single header file — the full validation logic compiles directly into your EA's .ex5. No external library, nothing extra for your customers to install:

TridentGuard.mqhPlace next to your .mq5 source file

Download

Add TridentGuard to Your EA

Add the include and 3 function calls to your existing EA code:

YourEA.mq5

#include "TridentGuard.mqh"

input string InpLicenseKey = "";  // License Key

int OnInit()
{
   // This MUST be first — blocks EA if license is invalid
   if(TG_Init(InpLicenseKey) != INIT_SUCCEEDED)
      return INIT_FAILED;

   // ... your existing init code ...
   return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

void OnTick()
{
   // This MUST be first — stops trading if license expires
   if(!TG_IsValid()) return;

   // ... your existing tick code ...
}

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
   // Clears local TridentGuard state
   TG_Deinit();

   // ... your existing deinit code ...
}

That's it for code changes. Three required functions: TG_Init() in OnInit, TG_IsValid() in every trading callback, and TG_Deinit() in OnDeinit.

Security & Protection

Your EA Source Stays Private

You receive the TridentGuard source header; customers receive only your compiled .ex5, not your EA source

Server-Only RSA Signing

UE signs validation results with a private key that is never distributed to customers

Request-Bound Responses

A unique nonce ties each response to the current validation request

4-Hour Re-validation

Licenses re-validate automatically — expired or revoked licenses stop working

Account-Bound Results

The signed response is valid only for the MT5 account that requested it

72-Hour Outage Grace

Previously validated EAs keep running through a temporary UE network outage

Important Notes

!Distribute only your compiled EA (.ex5) to customers — keep your EA strategy source (.mq5) private
!Do not remove or bypass the TG_ function calls — purchases will not work without them
!The licensing check happens on EA startup and re-validates roughly every four hours
!Signed expiry, suspension, revocation, and seat-limit responses are applied immediately
!Customers need only their UE license key; never ask them for a signing secret
!Strategy Tester uses a tester-only bypass because MQL5 disables WebRequest during backtests

Developer Terms

Version 2026-08-17 · Accepted per submission when you submit an EA for review.

Revenue share. A 10% platform fee is deducted from each sale — you keep 90%, and Stripe payment-processing costs are covered by the platform’s share. Stripe Connect is preferred; developers who cannot use Connect may use an approved alternative payout method.

Licensing. All listed EAs must integrate TridentGuard license protection. License keys, seats, and validation are operated by Ultimate Extractor.

Review & delisting. Submissions are reviewed before listing. Ultimate Extractor may request changes, decline, or delist a product at its discretion — including for misrepresented performance, malicious behavior, or unresolved customer issues.

Your responsibilities. You confirm you own or have the rights to the submitted software, that its description and results are truthful, and you remain responsible for the EA’s trading behavior and product support.

Ownership. You retain all intellectual property in your EA. Listing grants Ultimate Extractor the right to distribute the compiled product to purchasers and to use its name and images for the store listing.

No guarantees. Ultimate Extractor does not guarantee sales volume, placement, or continued availability of the store. Trading involves substantial risk; you must not market listed products with promises of profit.
