It is necessary to compile your mql5 the file. Make double click on mql5 the file - the MetaEditor will automatically be started after that. In the MetaEditor press "F7".
 
Just compile this file in Metaeditor.

Because MT5 terminal is using ex5 files (not ,q5 files) so when you place mql5 file to MT5 folder and restart MT5 so this file will automatically be compile and ex5 file will be created (and you can take it, copy or whatsoever).

Does the ex5 file created automatically with security protect? I don't want anyone decompile it.
