This post is old - 3.2 R1 was released on May 23, 2014. To get it go to the normal download section at http://www.molanis.com/products/molanis-strategy-builder/expert-advisor-builder-downloadWe are proud to announce a new beta release. This new beta version includes:
The EA Signal Builder icon, the MQL+ icon, and support for MT4 Build 600.
EA SIGNAL-BUILDER: With the feature Color Markers, the easiest way to define signals. The complete user guide for this icon can be found in a pdf file below. This video tutorial shows some features in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tk6_JB2354MQL+: An icon for the experts users that want to add their own custom mql code to the strategy builder.
Support for MT4 Build 600 or higher : MetaQuotes strategy is to join MT4 and MT5 features in one new MT4 product. This change allows MT4 users to access some MT5 features. The latest MT4 Build 600 (or version 600) released on Feb, 2014 has a new directory structure and some new file names making MT4 more like MT5.
Before Build 600, EAs were located in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts ; indicators were located in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators
After Build 600 there are two options:
-If you use a windows version older than Windows Vista (i.e. Windows XP, Professional),
EAs are located on C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\MQL4\Experts, indicators are located on C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\MQL4\Indicators-If you use Windows Vista or a newer Windows Version (i.e. Windows 7 or 8), EAs and Indicators are located in the MT4 MQL4 Folder
To find your MQL4 Folder open MetaTrader and go to menu File - Open Data Folder. Then click on MQL4
The MQL4 Folder looks like:
C:\Users\YourWindowsUser\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\YourTerminalID\MQL4
For example our MQL4 Folder is:
C:\Users\molanis\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\0932268F8B2FB1DB30E3BB61BE509A01\MQL4
molanis is our Windows user name, instead of molanis you will see your Windows user
0932268F8B2FB1DB30E3BB61BE509A01 is our terminal id, it depends on the number of MT4 installations. You will have a similar directory with your own terminal id.
Expert Advisors will be located on C:\Users\YourWindowsUser\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\YourTerminalID\MQL4\Experts and indicators will be located on C:\Users\YourWindowsUser\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\YourTerminalID\MQL4\IndicatorsHow to know which MT4 version is running in my PC? Open MetaTrader, go to menu Help, then select About (the last option). A new window will show on the lower left the version and build. i.e. MetaTrader 4.00 Build 604
MetaTrader Setup for the Strategy Builder
If you use MT4 Build 600 or newer, in the Strategy Builder you need to setup:
1. the MT4 directory (the directory where the MT4 Editor MetaEditor.exe is located i.e. C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4).
2. the MQL4 Folder:
To find your MQL4 Folder open MetaTrader and go to menu File - Open Data Folder. Then click on MQL4.
Here there are two options:
-If you use MT4 Build 600 or newer on Windows XP, Professional or older Windows versions, your MT4 MQL4 Folder should be something like C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\MQL4 - that directory is where the Experts and Indicators directories are located. EAs will be saved on C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\MQL4\Experts, Indicators will be saved on C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\MQL4\Indicators
-If you use MT4 Build 600 or newer on Windows Vista or newer Windows versions (i.e Windows 7 and 8), your MT4 MQL4 Folder should be something like C:\Users\YourWindowsUser\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\YourTerminalID\MQL4. Expert Advisors will be located on C:\Users\YourWindowsUser\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\YourTerminalID\MQL4\Experts and indicators will be located on C:\Users\YourWindowsUser\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\YourTerminalID\MQL4\Indicators.
