Problems adding Ex4 files into MT4 Platform

Hi Guys,

I'm new here so would like to seek experts advise from you. Recently, I've tried adding ex4 files into my MT4 platform but couldn't. There wasn't any expert file inside the MQL When I tried to open manually on MQL, it gave me very strange text. Any advise? I'm using windows 10.

You can't open .ex4 files ... There are only to be applied on your MT4 chart.

Thanks for the prompt respond Ferru.

How do I 'apply' on my chart? Do I have to store it in some particular folder for it to pop up under 'Expert'?

You must copy the file in the right folder. To find the right folder, open your platform, then click File > Open Data Folder > MQL4 ... then in the MQL4 folder you will find the indicators folders. Once your tool is in the right folder, restart the platform.

Your indicator is now listed under the custom indicators list in your platform.

That's it!
