Utility published as Indicator or EA

[Samuel Manoel De Souza]

If i publish a utility where the file is compiled as Indicator, would be possible to submit it compiled as EA in future updates, for example if i decide to add trading functionalities? So users can use other EAs while the utility does not provide trading functionalities yet. I was figuring if the Market would have constraints like if the initial versions was an Indicator so new files must be Indicator as well.

In the MQL5 Market once you publish a product as a specific type (EA, Indicator, Utility), you can't change it later. Even if your Utility uses an Indicator file now, you won’t be allowed to update it with an EA file later.

If you plan to add trading features, it's best to publish it as an EA from the beginning even if it doesn’t trade yet. That’s allowed.
