I know it is rather MQL4 question, than MQL5, but i know many developers are doing conversions from MQL5 to MQL4. After recent modifications it is pretty easy, but there is one catch.
New MQL compilers (both from MT4 and MT5 that are similar) whilie compiling MQL4 strategies dont put the comments in the code - like // MA Period
displaying variable instead. And in older MQL compiler versions it was working fine. What to do to handle that issue? I have instructions made to describe function names in form of comments,
do i really have to convert either also instructions to MT4, ro change entire variable names to match comments? (old presets would not work though!) How do you handle that MQL5 developers?
Attaching screenshots to show what i mean.
PS. I already reported that issue to service desk, but in service desk it can take months and I want to release mt4 versions of my MQL5 strategies as soon as possible.
