Hi everybody, I'm using IC Markets (ICM) account and I downloaded ICMarketssc4setup.exe from ICM's website. After installed a MT4 terminal, I loaded the Fractals indicator (the built-in indicator in MT4) onto my charts, but I cannot see the arrow signs, instead all with box signs. Anyone has the solution to make the MT4 terminal can see the arrow signs ? Note : I live chatted with ICM but they said they do not support any MT4's indicator's problems. Thank you. {image} {image}

{quote} Does it work on any other chart, eg. forex? I guess you did all the usual restart, reboot computer routines? I would re-install MT4 into the same folder, over the top of what is there; don't worry, any saved Templates and Profiles will still be there. Good Luck

Wow, this has really escalated. I doubt whether I can offer any further help, for me, you're not missing out on much as far as the standard Fractal indicator goes. My go to indicator has been the Barry Support and Resistance; I even managed to change the arrows displayed with the simple arrow numbers. That's all I got, good luck. {image} {file}

Hi Chimoong - Surely you do not have the fonts installed correctly. In the test script Hayseed sent you you have shown a screen grab with half or more missing wingdings. I will get really basic because something is amiss here. You downloaded a font .zip file, did you UNzip the *.ttf files into C:/Windows/Fonts and can you see them there. Attached are pics of what I see when I look at mine - Yours should be identical - there is an Windows environ view, a DOS view and finally the wingdings as Hayseeds scrips produce. Check if all as mine. Finally...
