lets take a look at the instruction for deployment.in mt5:
copy the complete project in the experts directory of the mql5 as it is.
compile mt5.mq5 once to make sure it is working.
in mt4:
copy the complete project in the experts directory of the mql4 as it is.
copy the sym_port.txt in the mql4 ---> files directory. (i could not load the file from the same folder. so i have to move it to teh files folder. i was not able to find a method for its inclusion, if someone has idea please share so i can neglect this step.)
compile the mt4.mq4 file once to make sure it is working.
note:
first apply the mt4.mq4 on the chart.
then apply the mt5 on the chart of the same symbol. otherwise it will not work.
