All my customized indicators are written under MT4, is there a simple way to convert MT4 indicators to MT5 indicators? Hope to use MT5 for live trading。

This article is a quick guide to MQL4 language functions, it will help you to migrate your programs from MQL4 to MQL5. For each MQL4 function (except trading functions) the description and MQL5 implementation are presented, it allows you to reduce the conversion time significantly. For convenience, the MQL4 functions are divided into groups, similar to MQL4 Reference.
 

There is no direct method at all.

I myself tried to develop an automated tool to do the same. But its only partially successful in converting. As low as 20% . 

So you basically need to hire a developer to convert your MT4 indicators into MT5, one by one. 

May be you can just start with your best indicator in MT4 and try out and get a feel of how does the process of conversion work. 

Each indicator will be different from the other. so the process of conversion might differ as well.

I have myself worked on such conversions and all I can suggest that only an expert can comment the process of conversion after going though the code of your MT4 indicator.
