Thank you for enlightment.

As a starting point, I suggest reading the following:

After that, I would suggest reading the documentation as a follow-up, because MQL5 has evolved since the above publications, with extra additions for some compatibility with MQL4.

MT5 is 64 bit and has more functionality that is being added to all the time. It has a commited support and development path.

MT4 is 32 bit, only available via a broker, receives only essential updates and is no longer being developed.
