Excellent write-up! I totally agree with your points on EX4 and the benefits of move them into .MQ4. Having .MQ4 format, you gain full access to adjust the source code, making it much easier for algorithm developers.

I’ve personally transitioned several ex4 to mq4 files to .MQ4 in the past, and it’s without a doubt made a significant difference in how I tweak my robots. If anyone’s thinking about doing this, you won’t regret it! Being able to access to the editable source code lets you customize it exactly the way you want.

Appreciate for putting this together, definitely valuable! Can’t wait for more content from your blog. Best of luck!"
