first steps on meta trader, help pls!

hi,
i have just downloaded your software bur am a complete novice and was wondering if you
could help me with some basics?
1. how can i see the trades i make, i have an account but can't seem to access the data, that is
i double click on the account numer i created in the navigator window but nothing happens, even hough
i have the correct login and password...have i missed a part of the set up.
2. i would like to upload some custom indicators (http://codebase.mql4.com/3657) but have no idea where to begin.
could you take me through the steps to make the indicator appear on the charts?
thank you all, much appreciated

Look at this post for info on where to save indicators. After saving the indicators re-start MT4 and then open the navigator (one way to open it is Ctrl+N). Right mouse click on the indicator or grab the indicator and drag it to the chart. Indicators you add to the indicators folder will be under Custom Indicators.

thank you for the quick reply, jusrt tried the custom indicator, and it works! great! thanks

Your welcome. I've been waiting for some one to ask that question. I put the picture in the other thread so I could bookmark it and post it easily the next time someone asked where to save MT4 files.
