Best way to convert from MT4 to MT5?

Hi All,

Just checking if anyone have experience in converting some strategy created using SQ3 for MT4 for use on MT5 system?

Regards,

Simon

Hello,

you can open str files in SQX and export as an MT5 EA … to convert mq4 to mq5 you can use tools available around https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/179991

Thanks for your reply tomas262!

I do have the str file from SQ3, but the parameters are not optimized.

I have been doing the walk forward matrix and getting those recommended parameter values at the end, export a mq4 file, and manually input them in using Metaeditor on the MT4 platform.

If I use SQX to export MT5 EA, the parameters seems different to SQ3 exported to MT4 EA.

Is there a way to modify the str file on SQ3 to have the optimized value? (so I can use the same file in SQX and do a straight export to MT5 format?)

Thanks in advance!

Simon

You have to manually edit the parameters in retester there is a option available for that in SQ3.
