Hi all,
I've downloaded a FREE ex4 file in this forum, put it in /MQL4/Indicators/, but it doesn't work, then I find it to be an Utility. How am I gonna install it, in MT4? I can not find method in google.
Appreciate any help.

Dear Joshatt,

If you have placed it into the correct folder, you need to either right click and hit refresh in the indicator window of your terminal or close and restart your MT4 terminal for the indicator to appear in your list.

Good luck,

Kind Regards,
Tzamo

Thanks a lot for your help.
So Utility should go to indicators folder?
I did tried restart and refresh. It did show up in the list, just its thumbnail has a blue-purple-ish dot on it, while most other thumbnails have a yellow dot.

Dear Joshatt,

That just means you do not have the source code for it to use with metaeditor. You can still run the indicator, drag it onto the chart and see if it loads, otherwise you have misplaced it (there is also "Experts" and "scripts" folders).

Kind Regards,
Tzamo

You need to clarify what you mean by "utility" please, what is the definition?

Is it such a secret where you found it or the name of it? You can click on #Post for the link, so we can see the context.

The usual things installed are, as mentioned by tzamo, Indicators, Scripts and Expert Advisor
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.
