Your folder show only source code (.mq4) files. These aren't used bu the platform. Only the compiled .ex4 files are recognized and used for loading on charts.

Thats file need compile.
Double click then Metaeditor will open, click compile button there. Done.
Not this problem.I have compiled the indicator.
Really don't know what is going on.

Generally these errors is when the .ex4 file isn't in the right indicators folder.

The only way to find the right folder: File > Open Data Folder > MQL4 > Indicators

I fix it,because the update version is not good to fit the old indicator,so I use the previous version.

I use Windows 10 and my MT4 indicators work OK...

You might be having the problem if you've got more than one MT4 installation and your indicators are getting mixed up somehow? Might be worth deleting all instances of MT4 on your computer and trying again. I've noticed that it installs stuff in C:\Users\<profile name>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes so maybe check and delete that folder too when you've uninstalled all MT4 variants on your computer?

Honestly say,I try it.It does not work untill I change the MT4 Version from 971 to 950
That's really strange! Are you using the MT4 supplied from a broker? If so, might be worth trying it from the Meta Trader website itself and seeing if that makes a difference?

Apart from that, can't really suggest anything else - sorry!
Maybe your indicators file somehow became corrupted when you upgraded to build 971. I had the same problem. What I did was a complete reinstall of MT4. Just delete your MT4 and redownload build 971. I know that means readding all your custom indicators but that solved my problem and I actually only added the custom indicators that I use. Hope that helps.

OK,now I am using 950.As long as it works well,no need to update
Not true, MQ will drop support for build 950 soon, then you canīt login with this build anymore to your broker.
