Hi,

can someone explain to me the difference between *.mq4 and *.ex4? and how to attach them?

mq4 is the text file that the programmer will edit for your EA or indicator.

ex4 is the compiled version of the mq4 file. This is the file that metatrader references for your charts.

To attach them simply drag and drop it onto a chart. To see what files are available click the icon with the folder and star.

Correct, but you really only need one or the other. If you download both of them that's fine as well.
