Comparison between MQL/MT 4 & MQL/MT 5

 

I thought it would be a good idea to have a central location for people to have a resource of information on the platform and programming similarities and differences between MQL and MT 4 and 5.  I was going to originally start just a thread for discussion, for people to post things they have noticed, but I have seen that people have done that already in articles and topic threads, so I am including a link to many of them here, to make it easier for people to find.  Feel free to add to the link list any I missed, and/or continue to offer helpful tips and recommendations here.

They are in no particular order.

Hopefully this thread is useful as a resource for budding programmers, and maybe even some more experienced ones as well.
