Predefined functions not working

[mmaghraby]

Predefined functions are not working. They are not turning into Pink color and so I get an error that it is an undeclared identifier. Any ideas??

Thanks Keith - So I download Met Trader 4 from https://www.metatrader4.com/en/download but what I get is MetaEditor 5. How do I get the mq4 instead??

What is the platform? MT4 or 5?

MT4 compiler is build 2302 (click help then about)

MT5 compiler is build 2361

both are version 5.

   If you had used this (before posting,) you would have found (among 100+) Where to download MT4? - General - MQL5 programming forum 2017.04.31

   It has been years since you could download MT4 from Metaquotes. You can only get it from a broker's website.
             Where to download the orginal MT4 installer - MQL4 programming forum 2018.01.29

   Or the "clean MT4" download link:
