The EA (Expert Advisor) designed for MT4 (MetaTrader 4) are not directly compatible with MT5 (MetaTrader 5) and cannot be used as-is.

This is due to the fact that MT4 utilizes the 'MQL4' programming language, while MT5 uses 'MQL5.These languages, along with their associated data structures and functions, are different. As such, in order to use an EA developed for MT4 on MT5, you will need to either use the EA compatible with MQL5, or rebuild the program for MT5.

If the EA is provided pre-compiled form, manual code conversion isn't possible. We recommend reaching out to your EA provider to check for availability of an MT5-compatible version.
