MetaQuotes recently implemented an upgrade with the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) Build 600. You may have experienced issues with your installed Expert Advisors (EAs) and indicators as a result of the change in location of the folders within the MT4 folder, as well as the MQL4 language.

 

Please make the following changes to reinstate your EAs and indicators.

 

1. Save your EAs and indicators in new folder location: MT4 > MQL4 > Experts/Indicators

2. Align your EAs and indicators with the new MQL4 language, for them to be fully compatible on the latest MT4 platform.

 

Option 1
Contact your EA provider if you do not have the source code available and request an updated version of the EA.

 

Option 2A
If you have written your own EAs or you do have the source code available, please follow these steps:

• Navigate to Tools > MetaQuotes Language Editor – a new window will appear.
• Navigate to View > Navigator – the Navigator box will appear in this window (if not shown already).
• Double-click on the EA/indicator you would like to use and update – the relevant EA script will appear in the main window.

 

Option 2B

• Navigate to File on MetaQuotes Language Editor > Open to locate the relevant EA/indicator source code saved on your computer.
• Click on Compile in the toolbar on top of the main window (or navigate to File > Compile) – a message will appear in the Toolbox window at the bottom.
• Once this has completed and there are no error messages displayed, you will need to close and reopen MT4 – your EAs and indicators should now be ready to use.
