Your indicators subdirectory is now inside the MQL4 directory.

The MQL4 directory is on your screenshot.

Thanks in advance

Search programs and files and enter expert advisor, you should be able to find it like that

I'm running Windows 7 but I assume the process should be similar.

Run MT4. Choose menu option 'File.... Open data Folder....' and it will open Windows File Manager showing you the location of your MQL4 folder. Then you can double click on the MQL4 folder and use this to copy files directly to the Experts, Indicators, etc folders below.

It is now so much easier than it used to be. We don't have to go into our hard drive, find the MT4 indicator folders.
Why is it that so many of the instructions out there still tell us to do it the old way.
Thank you guys! We just go into MT4, click file, open data folder and there it is. Hallelujah!!!!!
Now my indicators are in. I'm grateful.
