Convert MQL5 code to MQL4 code ?

[Golgoth]

Hello I have an indicator in MQL5, I would like to convert it in MQL4. 

Is it possible ? 

If yes, is it easy ? Or it's faster to recode directly the indicator from pine script to MQL4 ?

Of course, it's possible. Most indicators are similar in both languages.

You have only four choices:

1. Search for it (CodeBase or Market). Do you expect us to do your research for you?

2. Try asking at:
   • Coding help - MQL4 programming forum
   • Requests & Ideas - MQL4 programming forum
   • Make It No Repaint Please! - MQL4 programming forum
   • MT4 to MT5 code converter - MQL5 programming forum
   • Please fix this indicator or EA - General - MQL5 programming forum
   • Requests & Ideas (MQL5 only!) - Expert Advisors and Automated Trading - MQL5 programming forum
   • Indicator to EA Free Service - General - MQL5 programming forum
   • I will write an advisor free of charge - Expert Advisors and Automated Trading - MQL5 programming forum
   • I will write you an advisor for free - Trading Systems - MQL5 programming forum
   • I will write the indicator for free - MQL4 programming forum

3. MT4: Learn to code it.
   MT5: Begin learning to code it.

   If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into your code.

4. Or pay (Freelance) someone to code it. Top of every page is the link Freelance.

We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

Thank you for your answer :)

As I am not a coder, I was just asking if such a thing was possible.

A possible answer could have been that going from MT5 to MT4 is a nighmare and better start from scratch.

But thanx to you, I know I know that it's not that difficult, so I will dig deeper to do it.

First you should search for it … most of the indicators are coded in all languages … but in tview you can see “studies” which is painting an arrow or something… but there is a strategy behind that arrow …
