I use MT5 since it has more advanced features compared to MT4. I practice on a demo account in Prime Codex and CMC Market. I also practice in Trading View.

Can you delpoy the same EA’s you can use on MT4 on TradingView?
Though I can’t say for sure, I don’t think so. I searched the internet but came up empty-handed.

mt5 - a bit faster than mt4, best for news trading
what about acttrader? does anyone use that platform for news trading?
this is right - you can’t use the same ones because the programming language is different
there are plenty of commercial services around who can “convert” an MT4 EA for use on TradingView, though, but i believe they do it more or less by complete “deconstruction and reconstruction”, rather than by “translation” (i’m told that a company called “Nordman” is a well-known and respected one, if anyone wants to google them)

Would you mind explain more about this?
Yeah, it is not possible because each platform use a different format. The conversion process is mostly construction and reconstruction as you said.
Are you talking about the desktop app, or the web version? I started out using their web version (several years ago) and found it very glitchy, which is what lead me to TV (which is my preferred platform, as you know).
Since that was a few years ago maybe I should give it another try, maybe they’ve worked out the bugs by now.
