MQ4 EA does not show up in MT4/5 Platform
Hi everyone,
I'm currently having some problems with the installation of an EA. I've downloaded the free EA "Martingale VI Hybrid.mq4" from Codebase. I tried to add it to MT5, but it didn't show up between my Expert Advisors. I installed it in the correct folder (AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\...) I was thinking maybe .mq4 files are not compatible with MT5, so I downloaded MT4 afterwards but it also didn't show up on here. Next, I downloaded a .mq5 EA to test if this would show up between my Expert Advisors, and it did. I've reinstalled the MetaTrader platform a couple of times and tried to find a solution on the internet, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything. Could anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.
Damon

Hi Kenneth. Thank you for your reply. Well, as I said, I've also tried installing the EA on MT4, but it didn't work either...

did you put the .mq4 in the correct folder? As it's an expert adviser type it needs to be put into - Open Data Folder/MQL4/Experts
did you check it for errors? if not, check terminal logs.
I placed the .mq4 together with the already installed EA's in - /AppData/Roaming/MetaQuotes/Terminal/.../MQL5/Experts/Advisors.
I just noticed that the folder is actually named MQL5 instead of MQL4, and that the platform interface is the same as MT5. However, I downloaded it as the MT4 platform from https://www.metatrader4.com/. It seems like it installed MT5 instead of MT4. This is odd because the file is actually called mt4setup.exe. Is there a way to download the true MT4 platform?

I downloaded the MT4 platform from my broker's site instead, and now it seems to work. Thank you!
Your're welcome! It could be confusing yes and the only way to get MT4 is by downloading it from your broker.
