Topic: Question: How to export strategies to *.mq5

After creating a number of strategies I'll use 'Control Panel' to specify a particular destination folder and then use the main menu to export all the strategies -- i.e. "Strategy / Export All Strategies to MT4/5".  The source code is always exported in *.mq4 format -- which is fine, because I use MT4.  But now I'd like to also use MT5, but I haven't found how to export those same strategies in *.mq5 format.

Actually, I just now figured out if I include "MQL5" in the destination path then FSB uses *.mq5 format.  And if that is the only way, that's fine.  I was hoping to not have to always include MQL5 in the destination path.

Thanks...

Re: Question: How to export strategies to *.mq5

I just specify the URL that I want to send the strategies to.....

I have a few different instances of both MT4 and MT5. so I change the URL as needed.

Steve, you are right.

FSB Pro checks if the export path contains  "MQL5" (uppercase) and exports EA for MT5. It exports MT4 in the other case.
