The EA compatibility issue

MT5’s programming language (MQL5) is designed to develop trading robots, technical indicators and scripts, however it is more complex and not MT4-compatible. This means, that if you are an MT4 trader and want to use your custom indicators on MT5, you will have to rewrite the code, as no converting shortcuts are currently available.
