EA does not appear among Experts (all others work well). Same is true for the Indi in its place.
? do you mean in github? I don't understand the comment. How can the EA not appear on the Experts folder not the Indicator?

0.03 Lot per 200 $ is to much
As long as you control the risk, I don't see an issue with 0.03 lots /$200 of balance.
You have created a potentially great system, risk control just takes it into much more great potential.

But not to worry... I am slowly increasing the lotsize on the live account.

I downloaded it from Github.
I put the EA into Expert folder of Mt4, but after restarting the Mt4, there is no available among Experts.
Practically saying, simple not working at all.

Ahh. Your actual symptom is "not found", more so than not working. .
So let's see if you moved it into the correct folder.

The thing I dislike of what Metatrader did with the folder locations is that they actually moved them to a part of your profile. If I recall the actual folders are now under the appdata\roaming\metaquotes folder. In addition the folder names are formed with a bunch if characters which sucks if u want to remember it. Oh and if u change something or whatever metatrader creates more folders....

Ok let's get to your situation....

If u r already familiar with all of this and u still have issues we can do a desktop share and fix it. Otherwise try these steps:

1. Go to the File menu and select "data folder"

2. Navigate to your Experts folder

3. Click on the address link of your file explorer and once u see the expansion of your current folder select it and copy. You will probably see something crazy like this:
C:\users\yourloginname\appdata\roaming\metaquotes\hhrjrjjfifjenekxnchdjencjjdejjffncjejennc\terminal\mql4\Experts

4. Go back to github and find the EA,

5. When asked where to save the EA paste the file path u copied earlier.

Do same for the indicator.

If you still doubt that you downloaded the files... On the next attempt save them to the desktop. If they do not download you will not see them on your desktop. If that is the case then you have something going on with the permissions of your machine or perhaps your antivirus program is blocking it.

Good luck

You are kind Jess. I did not have issues with placing and using experts - I have been testing a few EAs for a while.

Still I tried your instructions, but did not help. Enclosed you can see the placed experts and the available experts (after restart).

Seems not working

AHA!!!
try this!!

Go to that experts folder... Find and DELETE this file:
mqlcache.dat

Refresh the expert list. You don't need to reload metatrader just go to the list of experts and right click in it. You will see 'refresh'.
Once u click on refresh let it do it's thing.. you will see the list of experts get updated.

EA PERFORMANCE LONDONCLOSE V30 (live pepperstone)

Manually closed for +0.81%. SOOOO tempted to let it go and see if it hits my 1.5% TP... But nope!! I used my good ol SEE PROFIT, CLOSE PROFIT.

Soon the lotsize will be up to a level where it will reach the target.
of course the demo (fxchoice) hit 1.66%. it's up over 3.2% for the week. Soon the live account will be doing the same. I am just slowly increasing the lotsize ...

Unfortunately it did not help too

Neither MT4 nor system restart.

Which MT4 version was the EA optimised for?

Do you have somewhere available a previous version, ie. v 28 or v23 ?

Yep got all of the versions. However I think you will see he same issue. It's more of a system issue I think. But we try everything!!!! Lol.
I'll pm you in a bit version 28..I think that is the last development version that works. Not pretty but it does work.

Forward .. backrest are not relaible. If you have followed along, I even provide a video on the subject, I had a heck of a time fixing the wrong data that the metatrader weals providing. If I found this them imagine all of those backrests and all of the incorrect bit of data.. besides a recorded tick does not show the actual movement of price as it goes slashing thru into the future. It's just a recorded instance and the in between stuff is not ever seen in back test data. So consequently you are missing data.... Forward test is the best.... Takes longer but the results are real.

EA PERFORMANCE LONDONCLOSE V30

Closed the live account with -0.25% I only saw one open pair and didn't care for how it was moving. Still up for the week at 1.01% and 2.7% from the start (beginning of last week). Oh and yup I raised the lotsize to 0.07 or 0.01/100.

i left the demo running.. let's see if my perception of the pair not moving much was right or wrong lol. Demo also has one open trade, GBPAUD.

Yes understood. But the folks I spoke with are using the same broker as I am and yes there are differences but not to the point of no trades and it has happened for the last couple of days.

No worries.. this too shall pass.

DEMO EA result.
As mentioned a couple of posts ago.. I closed the live account and allowed the demo to run.. same one pair on both was opened GBPAUD.

Demo hit profit... Lol. Same old lesson I have messed up . N ver trust your perception especially if u already have a proven method.. let the EA do it's thing. Tomorrow we will practice this .

It's all good . The EA is performing well and provides amble time to make choices.. the probability of a disaster is extremely low.

So tomorrow here Weeee Cooooomme!!!!
The following image is just demo for the week. I am letting run side by side with live for comparison purposes and what ifs too lol.

{quote} Thank you Xmess7 for the EA and the Indicator. I have downloaded both the EA and the indicator , loaded them in their respective mt4 folders, the EA(xm7_LondonClose_v19.ex4) in the experts folder and the Indicator( xm7_smLondonCloseFiboZones_v7.ex4) in the indicators folder. But both the indicator and EA disappear from their respective folder on refreshing...
Working on it. You and another user have this issue. It's probably a system issue cause I too have seen that happen to me. What I will do is create a portable version of mt4 (can also do it for mt5 if u need it).

The portable version will be a folder with all of he mt4 files minus the files that are found in experts, indicators, scripts,include,libraries. You will have to copy those files over from your local copies.. the folder will include it's own run icon. What is the difference?? The difference is that now you will know exactly in what folder your files are located. Cno guessing on which wierd folder name it's under. On one of the metatrader builds they decided to centralize the files so that under your username all of them would be located. The problem is that is u make a certain change or whatever they keep creating new folders .. after some time u end up with gazillion folders and you don't know where your EAs are at. Well u do know but u done know what version is what version.

Stay tuned...
