Hello,
I tried downloading this file but have not been able to comprehend how to do it even with some help from
ycomp..
stick it in the mt4 experts folder or experts\indicators folder (depending on whether it is an expert or an indicator) and restart MT4.
then you can select it from expert advisors or custom indicators in the Navigator window of MT4.
if you want to view it then you can open them from there into the MetaEditor by choosing modify.
another alternative is to just open the file use the MetaEditor
and if you want it opened by default by the MetaEditor then associate it with MetaEditor the way you would associate any file in windows with a program (right click the file and figure it out from there, it is easy)
if you go the metaeditor route then when you compile it from metaeditor, it should show up in MT4 without requiring a restart. All the restart thing does is compile all mq4 files it finds in those special folders upon startup.
I either get a message from Windows that it can not open the file or when I try to place it in a MT4 folder, I am not able to find it anywhere back on Navigator onelease could someone take me step by step. Sorry, I am a bit frustated with the MT4 learning curve. Here is a sample of one that I am trying to use with MT4.
