mt4 to mt5 converter

have everybody tried this converter? I just found it, it was written in 2010. do you have any updated version of this converter? any comments?

--------------------------------------
A script which converts MQL 4 code to MQL 5 code was developed by Keiji and Circlesquares on the MQL4 forum.

First, download the following files and place them in your Metatrader 4 / experts / include folder

- mt4accountinfo.mqh
- mt4string.mqh
- mt4datetime.mqh
- mt4objects_1.mqh
- mt4timeseries_2.mqh

Now, place the latest version of the rewrite script and it in your Metatrader 4 / experts / scripts folder:

- mq4to5rewrite_sample_v4_2.mq4

After that you will need to place a mql4 indicator, script or ea which you want to convert to MQL 5 in your Metatrader 4 / experts / files folder. Now open Metatrader 4 and run the script. As you can see you must first provide the name (without extension) of your mq4 file and select if it is an indicator (0), EA (2) or script (3) file.

Now hit the "OK" button and if everything is done

After that go to your Metatrader 4 / experts / files folder and you will find the converted mq5 file there:

Now open this file with Metaeditor 5 in compile it:

Try to fix the errors with the MQL4 to MQL5 Porting Table and the last version of the translated MQL5 user guide.

All the required files is included in the ZIP

you are the one providing the files, so why don't you give US a review so that we know if it's any good or not?

or, you could do yourself a favour and learn mql5 if that's the direction you are heading. i heard rumblings of it being difficult to use etc when it first came out, but honestly after taking a brief look at the mql5 documentation i believe it was simply because too many mql4 scripters have no idea what a real programming language looks like and mql5 has been pushed towards a c++ emulation... and this scares all of the script kiddies.
Congratulations ScalaFX for coming out of the closet!

The problem is you have to go to experts file and copy your ea or indicator into the file experts/file then replace try again. make sure you close the mt4 platform and reopen it. Run the script. don't forget to choose 0 1 or 2 in the file type box.
when you go to retrieve file in the same: experts/file you may have to ask your computer to show hidden files. just google that for your windows platform.

Here is a good post for migrating to MT5. https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/81

If you use compiler directive __MQ5__ you can also make you programs compatible for MT4 and MT5 with minimum effort

In this post you can easily see how the directive can be used. https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/2574
