146438 Project: Decompile .ex4 to .mq

PROJECT SUMMARY: Project entails writing a desktop program to decompile\unencrypt Expert Advisor (.ex4) files used with MetaTrader 4 forex trading platform back to human-readable, functioning (MetaQuotes Language 4 (MQL4) files that can be edited\corrected and recompiled using MetaEditor 4. MQL4 is very similar to C/C++. (See [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] for additional information). Access to the program (MetaEditor 4) used originally to compile MQL4 files to ex4 files will be provided. Project is to write a reverse compilation program to reverse the compilation done by MetaEditor 4 to convert ex4 files back to their original MQL4 editable state. Compiled ex4 files that contain bugs will be provided to be decompiled for testing purposes. Following successful completion of the decompilation program and completed testing, if selected programmer has the needed experience with MQL4 and is able to make needed corrections to files for proper function and testing, Buyer will have a separate project to make the needed corrections to the program files). Check out [login to view URL] for information on MQL4 language and platforms. Also see [login to view URL] A sample (ex4 file and mql4 code file samples) and the location for MetaEditor4 will be e-mailed to the winning bidder and available for download.

I have included one ex4 and the decompiled mq4 file. Remember the goal is a program that can take just the ex4 file when the mq4 file is not available and decompile it to the mq4 state. Deliverables are: 1) Complete and fully-functional working decompilation\unencryption program in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Decompiler program will be provided in a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Programmer will test program functionality and Buyer shall perform a parallel test to ensure program performs as needed inorder to sign off as completed. 4) Provide the program described within agreed upon timeframe and accepted bid amount.
