Sell my algorithm

I have a trading algorithm coded in C# in the Quantconnect platform.
an Prop firm wants to buy it from me but he wants to test it.
But to test it I would have to give them the source code.
I don't want to give away my source code of course.
Do you have a solution to offer me?

Don't they have backtested results in Quantconnect already?

Yes, there are backtesting and forward testing but he still wants to test it.
He offered me a LOI but that has almost no legal value and that does not exclude the risk of seeing my source code plagiarized or stolen
 
Maybe you can build a single binary from the C# code that outputs signals/orders and add some time limit code that will make it will stop working after a certain future date.

That should be enough for them to be able to perform testing and evaluation of the system/strategy.
