DislikedHi Forwarder
Indicators need to be downloaded or copied into the folder
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators
or wherever you have MT4 installed, e.g.
c:\Program Files\MetaTrader - Alpari UK\experts\indicators
Load indicator files (these have MQ4 and EX4 extensions) into this folder.
If no EX4 file exists, do the following:
1. From MT4, press F4 to load the MetaEditor.
2. Press Ctrl-O, and load the desired indicator into the editor.
3. Press F5 to compile. Make sure the message “0 error(s), 0 warning(s)” appears. This means the compile successfully created the EX4 file in the correct folder.
4. Press Alt-F4 to close the editor.
In MT4, press Ctrl-N to load the Navigator panel.
Then open up the “Custom Indicators” tree, where the new indicator should now appear.
Drag the indicator onto your chart.
Set the parameters to suit and click OK, and the indicator should appear on your chart.

Sections headed “Attaching indicators to indicators outside of the main price chart” and “Adding custom-defined indicators to MT4” could be helpful.
The Plot_News indicator involves using an EXE as well as an MT4 indicator. Please refer to earlier posts (# 25,26,32,34,38) in this thread for more information.
Hope this is helpful – please feel welcome to post any more questions here.
