So you write MQL4 program using MetaEditor. You then click the COMPILE button and the MetaEditor creates an EX4 file, provided your program has no errors. It is the EX4 which is the executable file which is run in the strategy tester and in the trading environment.

You should find the Book very informative, especially the chapter describing the MetaEditor. Once you start getting into MQL itself, check out the Documentation for much more information about MQL.

Id suppose you want to extract the ex4 file for distribution go to file->Save as, select where you want to save the EA(e.g. desktop) and save then click compile. Check where you saved the EA and there will be two files a .mq4 and a .ex4
