Hi,

I'm using ordermanager EA (EsikiM15Bomb EA) and the EA is working fine, BUT the expert keeps saying:
cannot open file '\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\1DAFD9A7C67DC84FE37EAA1FC1E5CF75\MQL4\indicators\#PriceToOpen 1440.ex4' [2]
cannot open file '\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\1DAFD9A7C67DC84FE37EAA1FC1E5CF75\MQL4\indicators\Heiken Ashi_SWAlert.ex4' [2]

It really slows my MT4 down.

Can anyone help me?

You must copy the file "#PriceToOpen 1440.ex4" and "Heiken Ashi_SWAlert.ex4" 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.

That's it.

You can request to the developer. It should be one packed with the EA
Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

The indicators must be provided with the EA. Not sure where you got it ... but as said DragonExpert, you should ask there.

Sometimes I just hate coding. I just found the soultion to my problem.

Cannot open file Vortex.ex4

double PlusVI = iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "Vortex ", VI_Length, 0, i);
double MinusVI = iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "Vortex ", VI_Length, 1, i);

There was a space in my code, after 'Vortex' Thats why it couldn't find/open the file.

Put this here for any one else that may run into this
