Need help using a script (basic)...

Story : I have recently subscribed to a ( commercial ) service that offers some sort of pivot levels intraday, weekly, monthly.

Updates are sent daily through a csv file.

The instruction given to me was : rename the file, insert that into your experts/files folder. Insert the scripts as usual.

I have enabled Expert Advisors under Tools.

=============
However, there is always an error coming up, maybe the script cannot find the file, or maybe this doen`t work on a Demo MT4 ?

I have attached some pics.

Maybe someone can help. Sorry for the newbie questions, I only use MT4 for charts....

It looks like you have the 'hiding of file name extensions' turned on in windows. However your datafile cvs file has the name 'FRML.cvs' so it probably has a non cvs extension. Maybe 'FRML.cvs.txt'.

 

  1. Turn on file name extensions.
    My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Uncheck 'Hide Extensions for known file types'.
  2. Remove the incorrect filename extension.
  3. Retry script.

Ms M,

As far as I can tell, you've placed everything in the correct folders.

Error 4103 means that the MT4 script can not open the file. That could mean that the file that the script is expecting to find doesn't exist, i.e. a problem with the file names.

If you attach the relevant .MQ4 and .CSV files to a post here, I'll investigate for you.
