EA Strategy Tester not working

 

Hi guys..new to EAs. I am trying to run different EAs in the strategy tester however in my navigator screen, they are grey icons. When I open my meta editor and open the specific EAs, it just shows a few lines of random code. It isn't a typical EA. I am having this problem with all EAs I download from this forum. Am I doing something wrong in the outset? They all appear to be EQ4 files.

Thanks.

There are mq5 EA files (source code) and ex5 EA files (executable). An "eq4" file doesn't exist. By the way, this is the MT5 Forum.

Please more accurately describe your issue.
