EA Output Folder



The EA Output Folder is the folder on your computer where VTS creates the MQL and EX4 files.


Normally, this folder is the "Experts" folder of your installed MetaTrader platform.


For example, if you have FXCM's version of MetaTrader stored at this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\FXCM MetaTrader 4\


Then the location of the  EA Output Folder would typically be this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\FXCM MetaTrader 4\MQL4\Experts


When the EA files are placed in this location, they will appear in the MetaTrader platform under the "Experts" tab where they are available to be attached to a price chart.


To copy your EA to all of your installed MetaTrader platforms, check the All Platforms check box.


Note: If your EA builds without errors and does not appear under the "Experts" tab, you may need to restart your MetaTrader platform.
