You'll need to create (or find) a custom indicator that calculates MA over ATR.

Drag and drop the MA into the ATR box and change the "Apply To"

Hello

Since I'm a new member, I'm not allowed to start a new thread. I'm gonna use this to ask a rather basic question.

That is, how do you add a new indicator into your chart in MT5? I compiled it in MT editor, tried to put it in the "expert" folder like the MT4. However, the "expert" folder in MT5 doesn't have the indicator folder. Mine happened to be MACD, and there was a MACD in the expert folder. It's under the "example" folder. I dropped it in there, and still nothing worked.

Anybody happens to know, please drop me a line.


Regards,

I do and I've already answered your question. You don't have to copy your indicators to "experts" folder in MT5.

Thanks. I didn't see it the first time. One more question: Where is the Library folder in the MT5?

I see only the: Experts, Images, Include, Indicators & Scripts in the MQL5 folder.

You know, you should probably quit while you are ahead. Maybe you should take a closer look... again...

I use neither MT4 nor MT5 for real account trading currently. But I use both for my charting, analysis and backtesting. As far as I know, there's only one broker that offers real accounts with MT5 and plenty of those who offer demo accounts with MT5.

Maybe you should update your MT5? Or install it from some other source?

I've downloaded MT5 from 2 different sources. First is the FXDD then the Broco Trader 5. They both yielded the same setup. That is, no library folder. I had installed them all of my 3 computers, and they're all the same. It could be my computer, not the MT5 necessarily. I'm gonna play around with that a little bit more. If I can't still do it, I'm coming back here for more help. Meantime, thanks for your help

Try downloading directly from MetaQuotes here and updating immediately after the installation.
