I've done some googling for this and also searched this forum, but have not found the answer .. just pieces I am trying to put together.
How do you make ex4 files?
From what I can piece together, you first write a mq4 file, then use something to compile it into ex4. To modify it you modify the mq4 file then re-compile.
Is this correct? What is used to compile it? A separate program you have to buy or download or something built into MT4?
Why do some indicators come in pairs, a mq4 version and a ex4 version. What is the difference?
Is an EA coded differently than a ex4 file
And .. can anyone suggest a book or website where I can learn more?
I can modify mq4 code that is already written and I enjoy working with code so would like to learn how to do it myself from scratch, but I'm having a problem finding the basic info.
Thanks in advance
