Usually there is a mapp named MQL4 and from there its 'experts' then i can drag and drop all the custom indicators i want, but since ios sierra high was installed the MQL mapp has disappeared.

not that skilled on ios so if someone could give me a hint i would appreciate that. im using xm broker btw.

I think I got it!

Go to XM MT4, select it and right click it. Choose "Show Package Content"

> drive C > Program Files > XM MT4 > MQL4


I had the same problem, but until you asked for it I did not put enough energy to the solution. Thanks!

hehe glad it helped you, but im stuck. the patch your naming used to be the one i take to find the MQL4 mapp.

now its:

Show package content / content / resources / wineprefix / drive_c / program files / XM UK MT4 / and then all the file mapps, but MQL4 isnt showing.

i have tried to input the "show hidden files" command but nothing

You should add /portable switch to your command starting the terminal.exe
Then you shall have all the files in the way it used to be in the old days (ie : the folder where you installed the metatrader->MQL4 folder and then all the usual, instead of the way they do it without /portable switch)

Try this:

- open Data Folder

- open Data Folder (again)

On this last window go back to your computer and to the location of your indicators/EAs.

Select, copy & paste (only one item each time)

To me it worked.
