Very Basic Newbie Question

Sorry if this is not the right forum for this question. Surely I am not the only newbie to this site that is having trouble transferring the EA mq4 files offered by so many members to their trading platform.

I am using IBFX platform and for the life of me have been unable to connect the files to the platform. Keep getting "windows can not open this file".

If someone would explain the process in detail, it would greatly help me and likely many other newbies.

Thank you very much.

Hey There, Welcome to FF

There are various internet search functions that would give you plety of instruction for this...
Here's a site I found for you with thorough video instructions

Have fun and good luck

Open this file as in load it to your chart or open it to read its contents?

if its the former, make sure to place the file in the expert folder and restart your MT4 client.

if its the latter, try reinstalling MT4 client and see if it helps. at worst, you can always use WordPad to open a mq4 file which is really just a text file.

Zen

Great help, guys. Thanks for the quick replies and not making fun of me.

Wish I had found the site long ago. Know I will learn much from you all.

Thanks again.
