Hi at all,

I use MetaEditor when i work from my personal work station,
repository type git, on bitbucket.com.
But MetaEditor save file mq4/mqh ecc ecc as binary type ???? No in text type ???

After working, i must create a file .txt, put all code inside, create a new name (es.: myWorkEA_last.txt ), set it as .mq4, and after i can commint/push in repository

Thanks a Lots

You may be doing something wrong. I have always edited my mq4 files using a text editor (I prefer Notepad++) and only used MetaEditor for compiling and debugging. There is no problem switching between MetaEditor and another text editor. Make sure you are opening the .mq4 file, not the .ex4 file.
Sure I have a trading plan. Buy low. Sell high. What's yours?

You will always have the text file (.mqh or .mq4) and the compiled file (.ex4). Make sure you add *.ex4 to your gitignore.
