Help with using a script in Metatrader

I have downloaded Vegas' scripts and am trying to use them.

I have compiled the scripts.
I pulled up a daily chart of the US/GBP
In the navigator window I right click on the Vegas Daily script and select "Execute on chart". I then confirm this.

Nothing happens.

I right click on the chart and there is a "remove script" option.

This means the script is attached, but nothing is happening.

Perhaps I missed something?

The Vegas files are not scripts, they are indicators. So put them in folder: MetaTrader4 -> Experts -> Indicators. Then you can find them under "custom indicators" when you start the application.

Also, some charts won't display as candlestick. Some do. Anybody else experience this?

Hi clam,

Try navigating through MT4. You'll get the hang of it.
Anyway, just to answer, I attached an image.
You have to click the button/option that's enclosed in the red box to show the bars as candlesticks.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
East

Ohhhhh.. ok..
Not sure why... Maybe you could try reinstalling?
I haven't had any problems like this.
So I think I can't help you with this.. Have you tried contacting their support staff?

Anyway, hope you'll be able to fix the prob soon.
