How to Port MT4 EA

#1 Postby mosalem2003 » Mon Nov 03, 2014 1:46 pm

I have EAs developed in MQL4, do you have a script and/or tutorial how to port them to FT strategies using the API ?
I assume you should provide your customers with seamless transition or likewise environment for MT4 autotrading to enable efficient backtesting.
Thanks

MetaTrader 4 experts can only be used in MetaTrader itself.
Anyway this is not a big problem, MT4 experts could be rewritten by a programmer into Forex Tester format using Forex Tester API libraries (we provide Delphi and C++ API for writing indicators and EAs). The conversion is not very difficult because our API is very similar to MQL.
You can find API files on <Forex Tester folder>\Examples\Strategies folder
Please see more information about API here:
Forex Tester -> Help -> Strategies API

viewforum.php?f=9

You can rewrite EAs by yourself or we can find a good programmer for you, just let us know.

If you need programmer’s help please send these experts to email services@forextester.com so our programmer can check if it is easy to convert them into Forex Tester format
