After downloading a custom indicator,I go to Meta Editor and compile the
indicator but cant find indicator in the terminal.
1. Delete the indicator from the Experts>Indicators folder using the navigator
2. Open the editor and open the MQ4 file from the location to which you originally downloaded it.
3. Using the editor, save the file into the C:\program files\metatrader4\experts\indicators folder (or wherever you installed the program).
4. The indicator should now be visible in the "Custom Indicators" folder on the navigator window.
5. When the inicator is dragged onto a chart, or added using a right mouse click, it will get compiled and will then run.
I've no idea why this is necessary, but it's the only way I could make it work. It seems like the editor must add something when you open the file and save it in this way.

I've just been through this when trying to install the VWB indicators. Here's what I did to fix it:
1. Delete the indicator from the Experts>Indicators folder using the navigator
2. Open the editor and open the MQ4 file from the location to which you originally downloaded it.
3. Using the editor, save the file into the C:\program files\metatrader4\experts\indicators folder (or wherever you installed the program).
4. The indicator should now be visible in the "Custom Indicators" folder on the navigator window.
5. When the inicator is dragged onto a chart, or added using a right mouse click, it will get compiled and will then run.
