Problem Saving Indicators

Hello All,

I have been trying to save indicators to the indicator folder and it saves it as an internet shortcut. I drag the file over from forex factory and put it in the indicator folder . I even tried to put it on the desktop and then transfer to the folder and the same thing happens. It will not let me copy the file either. Anyone know whats going on?

Thanks,

Dan

Maybe dragging doesn't work? I right click and do "save as" and never have a problem.

I think you are trying to save it to the wrong indicator folder, in the menu of Metatrader, click file then open data folder,
go inside MQL4 and then inside indicators, then right click on your indicator file and "copy" then paste your indicator in there. hope that helps

He is getting a shortcut, not the indicator. Some forums make you become a member before you can get the mq4 file. As far as I know FF does not, but I have never tried to drag an indicator from a web page, so I assume that is the problem.
