How to List Your MT4/MT5 Expert Advisor on MoneyFlock

By following these instructions, you’ll ensure your product is properly protected, verified, and monetized.

Navigate to “Edit Indicator/EA”
From your vendor dashboard, click https://www.moneyflock.com/manage-indicators → Your EA → Add/Edit.

Platform & Visibility

• Ensure MetaTrader4 or MetaTrader5 is selected.
• Choose Invite-Only (for monetization purposes) or leave it "open" when you’re ready for it to be publicly available for free.

Name & Description

• Name: Enter a clear, memorable title (e.g. MySuperEA).
• Description: Summarize its purpose, key features, and any requirements.
• Cover Image
• Upload a thumbnail that represents your strategy or branding.
• Ideal dimensions: 1200×600px.

Tip: Keep your description concise and benefit-focused—buyers should immediately know what problem your EA solves.

Get Code (Integrate Licensing Snippet)

• Copy the WebRequest URL
  
  Under Get Code, you’ll see a URL like:

https://moneyflock.com/api/module/indicator/webhook/metatrader/validate-license

Instruct your buyers to add this URL under Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → Allow WebRequest for listed URL in their MT4/MT5 settings.

• Copy the Licensing Code
  
  Click Generate Code, then Copy. This snippet includes:
• A user input for LicenseKey
• A ValidateLicense() function.

Paste into Your MQL4/MQL5 Source

input string LicenseKey = "";
bool ValidateLicense() { … }  // the generated code
int OnInit() {
  if(!ValidateLicense()) return INIT_FAILED;
  return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

Compile your EA/indicator in MetaEditor to produce the protected .ex4/.ex5 file.

3. Upload Compiled File

1. Switch to the Upload Compiled File tab.
2. Drag & Drop your newly compiled .ex4 or .ex5 file (max. 2 MB).
3. Click Upload and Verify.
4. System Verification:

• Our platform will spin up a temporary 1-day license to confirm your EA calls the validation URL correctly for the admins to test .
• A VERIFIED status means your integration passed; otherwise, you’ll receive an error log to debug.

Subscription Settings

• Go to Subscription Settings.
• Choose your Pricing Model:
• Free: No license required.
• Monetized: Pay-per-period subscription.
• Private: Only accessible via direct vendor invite.
• If Monetized, enter:
• Price (in credits)
• Billing Cycle (Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly)
• Click Save.

Example: Setting 100 credit / Monthly means buyers pay one credit per month to keep their EA activated.

After Publishing

• Vendor Dashboard: Monitor active subscriptions, revocations, and session activity.
• Updates: To release a new version, simply compile with the same licensing code and re-upload under Upload Compiled File. The system will re-verify automatically.

Best Practices

• Clear Messaging: In your EA/indicator logs, use Print() or Alert() to give precise instructions (e.g., “License expired on DATE. Renew at MoneyFlock.com.”).
• Testing: Before going live, test with a trial license yourself. Verify both activate and validate endpoints behave as expected.
• Documentation: Provide a short PDF or Markdown “Quick Start” alongside your product so buyers know how to install, enter their key, and enable WebRequest.

By following this workflow, you’ll deliver a secure, hassle-free purchasing experience to your customers—and protect your intellectual property every step of the way. Welcome to the MoneyFlock marketplace!
