- People try to edit EA, but they fail to do so. It happens because of file format issues. Basically, EA comes in .EX4 or .MQ4 file formats. You must require the .MQ4 file to read and edit because you can’t edit the EA if it is in .EX4 file format. When the MQ4 file is assembled, it becomes an .EX4 file that MT4 can use in its server.
- Frequently, users double-click on the expert advisor and expect it to install automatically. However, expert advisors will be installed manually and do not have an in built installer system.
- Some users try to use Windows File Explorer to use the MetaTrader 4 folder and install the expert advisor. Previously, Meta Trader used that method to work, but now they use a profile folder, which is concealed deep in the Windows file system.
