# Unearthing Quantower Secrets with dotPeek
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Acquire Your Digital Pickaxe (dotPeek)
|
|
|
|
1. Visit JetBrains' dotPeek download page: https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/download/
|
|
2. Click the **Download** button (it's big and blue, kinda hard to miss)
|
|
3. Once downloaded, run the installer
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Fire Up dotPeek
|
|
|
|
1. Launch dotPeek (look for the DP icon )
|
|
2. Marvel at its sleek interface from early 2000's (but who needs fancy UI, right?)
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Load the *TradingPlatform.BusinessLayer.dll*
|
|
|
|
1. File > Open > Navigate to your Quantower installation folder, like `D:\Quantower\TradingPlatform\v1.140.14\bin`
|
|
2. Find and open `TradingPlatform.BusinessLayer.dll`
|
|
4. Watch as dotPeek works its magic, decompiling the assembly
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Uncover the Secrets
|
|
|
|
1. Expand the assembly tree in the left pane and look for interesting namespaces and classes
|
|
- `\Scripts\Indicators\Moving Averages\` is a good starting point
|
|
|
|
3. Double-click on classes to view their decompiled source
|
|
4. Pay attention to:
|
|
- Public and internal classes/methods
|
|
- Interfaces and abstract classes
|
|
- Attributes and custom annotations
|
|
- Hardcoded values and constants
|
|
|
|
## Step 5: Document Your Findings
|
|
|
|
1. Use dotPeek's "Save All" feature to export the decompiled source
|
|
2. Create a document to note interesting discoveries and stuff that Quantower documentation didn't tell you
|
|
3. Some parts of Quantower are obfuscated. Which is funny, in the era of generative AI and easy-peasy de-obfuscation ability.
|
|
|
|
## Ethical Considerations
|
|
|
|
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility:
|
|
- Respect Quantower's intellectual property
|
|
- Consider contributing to Quantower's documentation if you find features worth documenting
|
|
|
|
Happy exploring! May your code be clean and your discoveries plentiful.
