Ex4 To Mq4 Decompiler 05.07.08
PROJECT SUMMARY: Project entails writing a desktop program to
decompile\unencrypt Expert Advisor (.ex4) files used with MetaTrader 4 forex
trading platform back to human-readable, functioning (MetaQuotes Language 4
(MQL4) files that can be edited\corrected and recompiled using MetaEditor 4.
MQL4 is very similar to C/C++. (See http://www.metaquotes.net/ and
http://www.interbankfx.com/Files/MQLIIUserGuide.pdf for additional information).
Access to the program (MetaEditor 4) used originally to compile MQL4 files to
ex4 files will be provided. Project is to write a reverse compilation program to
reverse the compilation done by MetaEditor 4 to convert ex4 files back to their
original MQL4 editable state.
Check out http://www.metaquotes.net/experts/mql4/ for information on MQL4
language and platforms.
Also see http://www.metatrader.info/node/96
A sample (ex4 file and mql4 code file samples) and the location for MetaEditor4
will be e-mailed to the winning bidder and available for download.
FOR BACKGROUND INFO on MetaQuote technology and Expert Advisors (EAs) see below
Platform:
PLATFORM: MS WINDOWS XP PRO and above (MS VISTA)
Software to be written will run on MS Windows XP Pro and above.
BACKGROUND INFO on MetaQuote technology and Expert Advisors (EAs):
Many stock and forex (foreign currency exchange) brokers utilize MetaQuote
trading platforms. Ex4 files (Expert Advisor programs) are designed to work as
plug-ins or add-ons to the trading platform. They essentially auto-trade
positions automatically based upon the criteria and variables specified in the
Ex4 program at run-time.
TO GET STARTED
download the file. Install v4xsetup.exe (it is the metatrader 4 platform and
editor needed to run, edit and compile mq4’s and .ex4’s. You may need to setup a
free demo to be fully functional. I have included one ex4 and the decompiled mq4
file. Remember the goal is a program that can take just the ex4 file when the
mq4 file is not available and decompile it to the mq4 state.
