Hello,
it is possible to convert some ea´s or indicators for mt5 but not for all, because the mt5 has a different trading style that not fits for all ea´s programmed on mt4.

A script which converts MQL 4 code to MQL 5 code was developed by Keiji and Circlesquares on the MQL4 forum.
First, download the following files and place them in your Metatrader 4 / experts / include folder
- mt4accountinfo.mqh
- mt4string.mqh
- mt4datetime.mqh
- mt4objects_1.mqh
- mt4timeseries_2.mqh
Now, place the latest version of the rewrite script and it in your Metatrader 4 / experts / scripts folder:
- mq4to5rewrite_sample_v4_2.mq4
After that you will need to place a mql4 indicator, script or ea which you want to convert to MQL 5 in your Metatrader 4 / experts / files folder. Now open Metatrader 4 and run the script, the script is located in the navigator window. As you can see you must first provide the exactly name (without extension) of your mq4 file and select if it is an indicator (0), EA (1) or script (2) file.
Now open this file with Metaeditor 5 in compile it.
