MQ4 converter

Guys, please check 2calgo.com.  It is free open source project which converts mq4 indicators to calgo indicators. It is still under development, but it  already fully supports 48% of mq4 indicators.

RE:

There is a site for converting mq4 indicators to cAlgo. It doesn't support all indicators yet, but it seems like your indicator is supported.

RE: RE:

I agree that hard coding location isn't good practice. You can put your xml file in Robots folder and find path to it using this code:

var pathToRobotsFolder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal), "cAlgo", "Robots");
