    Can an EA spy on your MT4 activities?

    Hi, Im trying to setup my account on Myfxbook and has been asked to install their EA for verifiion purposes. But Im very paranoid about installing anything for my computer.

    So I need to ask if I install this EA, will this EA have the ability to record my MT4 activities, my charts, my indiors.... Send back the information to Myfxbook?

    Hi, Im trying to set up my account on Myfxbook and was asked to install their EA for confirmation purposes. However, Im very paranoid about installing anything for my computer. So I want to ask if I install this EA, will this EA have the ability to list my MT4 actions, my charts, my indiors.... Then send the information to Myfxbook?
    The MyFXBook EA, just send to them your operations, open, shut, profit, loss, etc., not your graphics or indies or whatever else.

    If you ask about exactly what an EA could do? ... it could do almost anything, if you ask what MyFXbook EA does? ... it only ship your ops since last sync with their server.

    quote The MyFXBook EA, only send to them your surgeries, open, close, profit, loss, etc., not your graphics or indies or anything else. Should you ask about exactly what an EA can perform? ... it might do virtually anything, if you ask what MyFXbook EA does? ... it just send your ops since last sync with their server.
    You dont know exactly what this EA sends to them. But why do they coulb be interested in your graphics and opened charts?
    It is difficult to send picture file if EA Isn't providing together with DLLgt;

    quote you dont know what this EA sends to them. But why do they coulb be interested in your graphics and started charts? It's challenging to send graphic file if EA isn't supplying with DLLgt;
    I agree that they probably don't care about your graphics on the chart and in the event that you really wish to be paranoid of a single celebration it should be your broker. They could be able to modify mt4 how that they wish to (I am not saying that they do this).
    MyFxBook is provided with an dll and even if it's not there are always ways to get around limitations of a programming language. One possible way would be to take a screenshot with conventional mql4 procedures and sending it using a custom header with WebRequest.

    I consider only 1 reason to spy..if someone has a very profitable egy.
    But I am not so paranoic to trust in a total spying.

    If you run software on your system and you haven't reviewed the source code then you are like an open book...

    any thing that ea can read from your computer can be routed back to a different pc.

    It is possible that this ea can open up a back door into your PC.

    I do realize there are security rules in metatrader that would prevent these things from occurring...

    . . .but you never know what some decided hacker will can pull off...

    he just needs one entryway into your PC. .

    And you also maybe just maybe gave it to him. .

    Dont ever assume you know why a burglar may want to enter your house.... Only lock it up tight and dont let him in.

    Enjoy.

    In general., it's possible. Spy your account.
