Please teach me how to test by the FT3 a EA on running MT4.
But I don't know the sourse code of the the EA.
I can use C++.

Hello,

Sorry, but you can't convert an expert from MT4 to Forex Tester format without having a source code.

If you need to add an indicator/strategy from MT4 that is not in our list, you need to convert it from .mql to .dll format.
The conversion is not very difficult because our API is very similar to MQL.
You can find API files in C:\ForexTester\Examples\Strategies folder.

Please see more information about API in Forex Tester → Help → Strategies API

As soon as you have the required EA in .dll format, add it into Forex Tester via File → Install → Install New Strategy menu.

Can I create a common DLL for FT3 and MT4 by the following procedure?
Create prog_ft3.cpp for ft3 using API of FT3.
Compile this and link it with the library for ft3 to make prog_ft3.dll.
This is executed by FT3.
Next, compile link with the library of MT4 for prog_ft3.cpp and create prog_mt4.dll.
Execute prog_mt4.dll with mt4.
It is assumed that API calling format for FT3 and it of MT4 are the same.

prog_ft3 + libraly of Ft3api > prog_ft3.dll
prog_ft3 + libraly of MT4api > prog_mt4.dll

Hello,

Sorry, but this is not possible as far as I know, the only way is to rewrite a source code from MQL to Forex Tester format (and vice versa) and compile the EA after that.

Hello is it correct that I can run with FT3 no EA.ex4 without .mql and. Dll?

Hello can i test more tehn 1 EA similar ?
it ist working on .ex4 ?

Hello,

MT4 experts will not work in Forex Tester program, our software works only with EAs which are written in Forex Tester format and have .dll extension.
We provide Delphi and C++ API for creating/rewriting indicators and experts in Forex Tester format so if you have programming skills you can rewrite them.

We provide Delphi and C++ API for writing indicators and EAs.
Please see more information about API here:
Forex Tester -> Help -> Strategies API

API files can be found in C:\<ForexTester>\Examples\Strategies folder.

As I see now, testing EA with .ex4 is not possible. right??? I am extremely ANGRY about this! I told the sales manager I want to test ea , and now I realize I cannot test. I don't like to be scammed! Is there a possibility to get back money???

Hello,

.ex4 are compiled MT4 files, they can be used in MT4 platform only.
Therefore, it is not possible to use these EAs in the Forex Tester or other programs.
