Actually I have this EA running (in demo) for the last two weeks taking trades with no problem and the last one was 12 hours ago, so you don't have a problem, yet...

I have a newbie question, if someone has patience for a newbie 
I am new to MT4, and don't know how to use EA or indeed how to install custom EA's. What Siobi has done seems amazing, and I want to test on a demo account. Just failed to get it going so far. What I did was copy the files on this forum to the "indicators" folder and after that I see it the Custom Indicators list, but what now?
Has anyone written a step by step? If not help me understand what to do and I'll happily write that for the next newbie that comes along.

drcubi, we all need to start somewhere. You copied the EA into "indicators", and it needs to be in the "experts" folder. EA stands for Expert Advisor & an EA is nothing more than a computer program containing mathematical equations that do X when Y happens. In this case, if the right amount of "Ys" happen, the EA places a trade.
When you download the EA, put it in the "experts" folder.
There are some tabs inside the EA itself. To get there, you click on "properties" on the EA, and it brings them up. On the "COMMON" tab, you need to be sure that "Live Trading" is checked.
After you do the above, you need to look up top of the chart, and you'll see a icon that looks like a hat called "Expert Advisors". You need to click that to "ON", which makes it turn green. When it's green, it's a GO, and ALL expert advisors you have will then be engaged.
Finally, on the right hand upper corner of the chart, you'll see the EA you have attatched to that chart. If the face is smiling, it's ON. If it's frowning, it's OFF.
Also, there's a site called Baby Pips that yopu can check. It's a beginners site that has lots of good info.
