Opening an .ex4 file in Meta Editor

 

Hi,

I created a test file in the Meta Editor and was able to open the subsequent .ex4 file in the Meta Editor after it was compiled.


But when I tried opening an .ex4 file that was sent to me (to edit some of the parameters) I cold not open it - came up with gobbledegook. Is this because the file is locked or password protected?

No. You did not open the .ex4 file in MetaEditor. What you opened was the mq4 file.

No. You could not read it because it was compiled.
