hi

i am a newbie to FX and a newbie to metatrader, but thought i'd start learning.

i am really interested ematrader's thread on trading the slope. could someone please help re installing the slope direction line indicator...

i've tried inserting the .ex4 file but it's not being accepeted in present form. cant find insert menu and tried drag & drop in to various folders

all indicators go into you metatrader directory/experts/indicators

templates go in the templates folder in the main metatrader directory.

thanks for the reply virtecs - i have tried loading the file into all of these folders and it doesnt appear anywhere although i can view the code in a window and it appears a little gobbeldee gook although i am no expert of course..


i have attached the file ematrader posted on the slope thread..

could you or anyone poss take a look or help plse

thanks

Did you restart mt4?

hi traderjai.. i hadn't but i tried drag & drop again to each of the folders an restarted MT4 .. nowhere to be seen..

i have only started using MT4 today so are there any settings i am missing maybe to allow insert?

i am not sure if the file is still valid.. .. i know little about the .ex4 and mt4 extensions

thanks

Are you sure you're putting it in the right folder?

hi RR.. no i'm not to be honest..ive tried several..

i copied the indicator from this site to my desktop.. i then dragged & dropped into either the indicators folder or the exper advisor or the custom indicator in the navigator bar..


tried all of them - doesnt appear..

cheers
