I'm fairly new to MetaTrader;

But generally, I download the indicator, put it in the indicators folder, and it shows up when I restart the program.

Ok, got that down.

http://www.forexfactory.com/forexfor...light=firebird

According to this thread.. I assume "EA" means expert adviser..

Whenever I add the indicator, it says:
"Custom indicator Firebird v63G USDCHF,M30: removed"

???

I have no idea how to get this thing working, please help! I have no clue about MetaTrader, so please give me some step by step instructions.. thanks!

maybe you are placing the expert advisor code in the indicator directory.

Put your expets in here ..\StrategyBuilderFX 4\experts

Experts... Firebird v63G.mq4 and Firebird v065tf.mq4


And place your indicators in C:\Program Files\StrategyBuilderFX 4\experts\indicators

So far I have only seen one indicator....
Firebird.mq4



You can find these in the original thread.



Good luck

Apologies, just tryining to work out what you are doing. You refer to indicator, but the message indicates you are using the ExpertAdvisor code v63G as an indicator?!

Here is what I just tried, I copied "Firebird v63G.mq4" into the \experts\indicators\ folder. Which is the wrong place to put it as it is an EA and belongs in \experts\ folder. Compiled it and added it to a chart using "Insert -> Indicator -> Custom -> ..." This is what I see.....

So it looks to me like you have got the experts/indicators mixed up a little.

Have a look at your "indicators" code if it contains lines beginning with "#property indicator_" then something else is up. If you want post here the mq4 file saying if it is an indicator or expert. Will see if I can duplicate here.

Hope this helps.
