Decompiling ex4 files is a distant history, because
a decompiler existed for MT4 versions lower than 500,
so it was years ago. Despite various contradictory information
available on the net, I don't think there exists a decompiler
for versions 500+ of MT4 ((I've never seen any decompiled ex4 file
for v500+ of MT4). But you can remove restrictions without
decompiling, perhaps at the machine code level (deeper than
the direct compiled ex4 code). Since decompiled files are basically
historical, I'm not offended by their distribution, because I like
to see what's inside, but breaking the restrictions of modern
compiled codes can actually be irritating.

In Japan they have been decompiling v600+ EX4's for years.

Then I tried to contact people who advertised

but nothing came of it. That's why I won't believe
it until I see a decompiled file of v500+. ;)
That's because you're from Amsterdam. You need a special password which is written in syllabic kana or they will be spooked.

If an EA was really profitable, none would sell it, but would invest time in using it to make money.
I am against decompiled/ cracked stuff, if you want something that has a logic, just design and test your own strategy and hire a coder. So you'll have the code.

My 2 cents.
well, I understand your logic
BUT
a working EA car be slow sometimes, unless you have a lot of capital
some EAs on MQL5.com sell 40-50 units every month, that could be around $50k per month ! that's a lot
you would need a big account to make that money
OR
they can use a better EA for themselves and sell the lesser one
or they can restrict to some pairs and use other pairs for themselves
or the can even delay the signals to be the first to trade

I've seen decompiled MT4 EAs on Soehoe (SoeHoe is the worst, but was once great)
not a lot but i've seen them
never used them of course :)

the variable name assignation is different from the pre V600
