What is the difference between an mq4 ex4 file
Dear Senior Members and Programmers

I wanted to know what is the difference between a .mq4 file and .ex4 file in MT4. What do they do differently? Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks In Advance

.mq4 is source code of indicators or Expert Advisor and .ex4 is file compilation from .mq4....

in order to compile .mq4 is simple, just open .mq4 and press F5 and you're done.

To use it..just place .ex4 in indicators folder of MT4
then reopen your MT4

Reverse Coding ?
Is there a way to reverse the code ? That is to get back the TXT file starting from the EX4 file ?
TIA

ex4 is simply an mq4 file, but encrypted. This is done to protect intellectual property. There is no difference in functionality between mq4 i ex4.

Yes, there is a way to reverse-engineer the code.
No, there is no publicly-available utility to do this.

Right. Because MetaTrader is using ex4 files only (as i understand it in right way).
