EMA disappeared from MT4

Hi,

I did an update on my MT4, but when it finished my EMA was gone. I tried to look it up in the list but it's not there, has it been changed to MA only or am I overlooking something?

Thanks!!

Are you looking in Indicators ? don't look in Custom Indicators . . . select Moving Average then select Exponential from the MA Method drop down list.

Thank you very much, that was it!

I'm wondering though, I like to switch my old EMA to make look like this:

so with a 50 and 200EMA. The custom EMA has three lines though is there a way to eliminate 1 of them?

I am not sure if I understand your question, if you want to delete one of the EMAs, just right-click on the EMA and choose "delete indicator"... does this help? :-)

Well yes, it makes sense what you say.

So your saying that I should add 2 EMA indicators, one for 50 and the other for 200? I can't remember how I did it last year.

(see picture)

This is how it looks like now:

One EMA provides two lines (1 & 2). One line keeps saying EMA 14. Plus the sad face in the top right corner doesn't smile. I'm overlooking something.

The sad face means that your Expert Advisor is turned off (which probably draws both EMA and when turned on it could do some trading). So for your purpose I firstly recommend to delete Expert Advisor from your chart (right-click on chart -> Expert Advisors -> remove).
Than select Insert -> Indicators -> Trend -> Moving Average... choose your parameters, repeat process and add next EMA.. :-)

Found one thing: one was an expert advisor. Removed it. Now I have to figure out how to get a 50 & 200 ema on my chart....

Drag the Moving Average Indicator onto your chart twice, set one to period 200 and Exponential and the other to 50 and Exponential, job done !
