Something strange with mt4: Template not working

Hi

Yesterday I've download the ARA mt4 platform, who offer gold charts.
Now i wanted to put my usual mt4 setup template in the ara platform.

Did nothing wrong,.. done it a thousand times before.. duh
But this thing doesnt display the customs when i drag them onto the chart?!

Anyone got an idea what the reason could be?
I asked the same question @ their support desk .. it gave me a delivery failure?..

Could it be some brokers don't allow custom indicators on their mt4?
(would be kinda strange if so..)

Please an answer

It could be that they have a suffix after their symbol...i.e. EURUSDm etc and your indicators don't, or visa versa.

i dont know a solution for that, youd think those would work, since they are compiled
i guess compiled isnt really the problem, maybe compiled with old version is the problem

if i delete ex4, no matter how many times i restart mt4, it never compiles it

but, if i delete the mq4, and remove the ex4
everytime i restart mt4 with the ex4 in it, it works

i cannot re create your problem with ex4
id say they need to be recompiled with updated editor

ok i just thought of the possible problem
your mt4 must be old, and those indies were compiled with a newer version than you have
