Ea conversion to ex5

[ykmark]

Is anyone know if I got an Ea for sell in mql5 that work with mt4 only. And I got the ex5 ready for mt5. What is the process to sell it in mql5? Is there any shortcut
Or I need to go the the all process again as a second Ea?

I don't know about others, but I understood nothing from your question But I know that MQL5 and MT4 are different things and they are not compatible. MQL5 is a programming language for MetaTrader 5. MT4 is MetaTrader 4, which works with programs written in MQL4. MQL4 and MQL5 are very similar, but there are many differences as well.

I completed an Ea on fxdreema and I uploaded it as a seller to mql5 market. But it will work only with mt4 platform. Then I converted to ex5 file on fxdreema. And wanted to know if anyone know , do I need to upload it as if I have second Ea on mql5 market or there is a shortcut for that?

@ykmark mt4 and mt5 versions of an EA must be completely different things on mql5 market, there is no shortcut conversion.

However you can convert your fxdreema project between mt4 and mt5.

Right I did that, so the Ea with capability for mt4 and mt5 platforms when I upload it to mql5 market, it like I’m having 2 Eas instead of 1

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are two different platforms. MQL4 is different than MQL5. .ex4 files are different than .ex5 files. You can't mix both. You can't run EA made for MT4 on MT5. You can't run EA made for MT5 on MT4. You either work on 4 or 5.

By the way, I don't know how things work on that MQL5 market, but in another topic somewhere (could be deleted because of the hack) we discussed that they don't allow EAs generated by EA builders.

I end up uploading the Ea as ex4,and ex5 , so the same Ea on both platform, the only change was to change the name of the Ea ex5 by adding mt5 to the end of the name.
