EA set-up help please! (Kolier Li Supertrend)

Resolved

It looks to me like you have loaded an indicator into the Experts folder and that just will not work, indicators go in the indicator folder experts go in the experts folder.

Thank You CJA!

Ok...

I considered this however:

1. There are some Default Indicators and Experts so..

2. I looked in the Indicators and see the MACD MQL4 and EX4 Files (as shown below).

3. These also feature in the Indicators Folder.

4. The Indicators Folder is a sub-folder within the Experts Folder.


Given that these tally I presumed it to be the correct way.... especially since the Pop-Up box comes when I load the MacD Sample for instance.


So what am I doing wrong ?


Is there a separate code that I require perhaps?


Thank You again

The name is means nothing an indicator will not work in the experts folder and an expert will not work in the indicator folder. The MACD in the indicators folder is an indicator and the MACD in the experts folder is an expert and they have totally different code basically the only thing they have in common is the MACD name.

So what am I doing wrong ? - Short answer : putting it in the wrong folder.

Thank You again.

This is respected.... however, I still have then a dilemna.

1. I downloaded the Indicator File.

2. I installed in to the Indicator Folder and re-booted MT4.

3. So far so good, the Indicator shows on the Chart.

4. Now the dilemna....

I only have that one code.


What You suggest says to me that there is a SEPARATE Code for the EA.


I have searched for it but can only find the Indi Code.


I have read of other people in different parts of the Forum and other Forums with similar experiences...... but some times a solution is proffered while me, with no EA knowledge whatsoever, couldnt comprehend it.

That is why I started a new Thread so to make final sense of the problem / solution.

Any further suggestions please ?

Thank You again,|

Perhaps no one has made an EA using that indicator, not every indicator is used for an EA and not every EA uses indicators. Generally indicators show sort of display related to Price movement EA's may have that indicator built into them but they can also enter trades and exit trades etc so the indicator and EA operate in different ways and use different types of code, it is not possible to simply turn an indicator code into an EA and expect it to trade without adding all the trade related code.

Thats useful information CJA, Thank You!

I trust there is an EA given that I have read in some old posts (while searching through Google) some peoples similar frustrations, and, some results were stated.
