Thread: How can I convert .ex4 file into .mq4?

Like the other programmers here, my motive was to assist other members, but in one sense I believe I've unwittingly betrayed my fellow developers...

I learnt to write codes out of no prior computer programming history (I've a very long way to go for a competent coder). As it fits into my demand, the way I do it is to cannibalize code constructions from different peoples works to utilize them, I have to search the internet code factory for the appropriate part. Will this be possible for somebody like me to'compose' my own codes if not for the huge number of mq4 files openly shared on the net? I do my ideas to be explored by this.

I can agree the work which goes into composing codes is trivialized by some but not all, we cannot expect everyone to know about the work that they are unfamiliar with, neither can we expect everyone to have a grateful attitude. Indiors and EAs which are shared on forums for free ALWAYS involves hard work, knowledge, experience and ability, and there's a person out there who's GRATEFUL which you magnanimously and generously shared it for free, I am one person. And the truth is that I won't be where I am now if there was not one of those free codes shared on the internet at the 1st place, am I not forever grateful? There's always 2 sides the good and the bad, and which is the more significant - it.

About paying for the work, it is not always possible to do so. There are codes that I will be happy to pay for but I am not able to contact the originator or the originator won't sell his code.

I see it like a 2 pronged issue within a different 2 minute base. One is the work of writing codes. The other is the proper accreditation given to the person who wrote the code. The code has 2 parts to it. One is the computer language . The other is the part.

I encourage the protection of proprietary ideas, nobody should steal another individual's work.

At the same time, when I think of Newton, Einstein and many, many more'nameless' giants in their field who if they adopted a similar approach to look for protection because of domestic potential, the world is going to be a much different state than it is now. If not for these.... I pin-point it down to ACCREDITATION which we hunt for our functions, not all people do it for reparation. This is absent in an industry.

Along with the commercialization of everything possible, that is the slippery slope that we moan about however the very thing we propagate, possibly unwittingly.

'If not because of what you did, there won't be us and how it is today.'

And,

'By the joint enthusiasm, imagination and dediion of man with a frequent vision, uncharted frontiers are conquered that brings us nearer to a known state brought right into our living room.'

My 2 pennies from a consequentialist pov.

I understand just how much hard to learn and develop a good one bcz I overly learning still to be a coder but its hard then have grown an appliion and its own sometimes works to see a developer code how they created and involved of they hardwork to learn out of it and they understanding I am not a hacker or anything else should you all think. So I am also a coder and stiil so I understand just how much it is learning about it.

There is no problem at all with this manner. You are using the .mq4 supply codes.

The conversation is more about pirating/decompiling that the .ex4 file as the original .mq4 isn't available...

It takes me to receive my ideas across in developing a parcel of code - others functions is dishonest. Its best to find author and ask. I myself need to see mql reference substance to get where I want to be, and it will not be wonderful to find somebody breaking hard worked code...

Decompilation is illegal and morally wrong

Offering and promoting illegal activity here is against the FF principles FULLSTOP

this thread ought to be removed

I wonder how the offenders would feel if having generated the app to decompile and extend such illegal services someone came and stole it and started offering it for sale, I suspect they'd be yelling at everybody they could to say how unjust they've been treated and nobody else had the right to conduct the app.

Well... If you search on google you can discover the decompiler from ex4 into mq4... but It works only on older versions.



Google can fix all you problems....

Locating something through Google doesn't make it legal and morally right...

Well said... That was precisely the point here.

Sure 100% illegal.

Anyways wasting time with EAs or various indior. I tried a lot of those. At the end of the day I did not find anything that really worked.

Many have very low Sharpe Ratio / sortino levels, they generally work for a limited time.

I tried an App called Zorro based on machine learning. But the egy proposed but the devolper did not work in reality.

I finally realized what past performance is not indiived of futures results.

It is only a means to profit for some people to sell the dream.
