I converted this EA

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=9553

converted it here

http://mqlconvert.com/result.php?file=ManageTPv2-4.mq5

pasted it in MT5 Experts and it's not working. EA is not visible in MT5 at all.

Any ideas why?

Even if the file is not working it should show up. Did you put it in the right directory? did you restart the client.

you are probably falling foul of the UAC etc.... if MT5 is installed under programs directory then the default directories for files are under the user directories - go google it for more info

Don't waste your time, your "mql5" won't work . . .

. . . there are too many things that haven't been "converted", for example; OrderSelect() by position, OrderClose(), OrderModify(), OrderType(), etc.
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

All right I need that EA so I'm sticking with MT4.
