How do I add indicators (mq4 files) on the metaeditor? Thanks in advance. Go to Help file at the top of metatrader platform then look under Autotrading, there is an explantion there. When we use Metaeditor we create an “mq4” file, that’s the source code file, you could also open this file with Notepad or Notepad and it would be readable but if you compile the file it will create an executable file for Metatrader 4. This has the extension “ex4” and when we try to open this file in Notepad we get a lot of messy.

MtApi offers a.NET API to function with popular trading platfroms MetaTrader4 ánd MetaTrader5 (MetaQuotes).Thé API attaches directly to the MetaTrader terminal and functions with MQL features. Most functions of the API have got MQL interface.The connection can end up being nearby or remote control (by TCP).
Thé task has two components:
- client part (D#): MtApi ánd MtApi5;
The task is supported by Visual Studio 2015 and demands WIX Tools (http://wixtoolset.órg/).
Tó make an API for MetaTrader4 use MtApiInstaller and for MetaTrader5 make use of MtApi5Installer.AIl installers will be placed in the foIder 'rootbuildinstallers' and aIl.dll data files will become placed in 'rootbuildproducts'.MQL data files have happen to be build to ex4 and saved into folders 'mq4' for MétaTrader and 'mq5' fór MetaTrader5. They are ready to end up being used in terminals.Altering the source codé of MQL professional demands recompilation with MétaEditor. Resulting in thé need to copy files 'hash.mqh' ánd 'json.mqh' tó the MetaEditor include folder.
