Hi everyone!

I took two weeks for holidays and time to relax with the family. This morning I turn on the pc after two weeks. Suddenly the Metatrader 4 updated, after this moment, I can't use new indicator or add a news templates. I put the indicator in the corret folder and i can see that they are there but when I go to metatrader i can choose becouse they aren't on the menu indicators.

Someone knows whats happend?

thank you.

Now you don't put indicator files in Broker files/Experts/Indicators.
You put them in Broker files/MQL4/Indicators.
During the update, existing indicators should have been copied to the new file.

Yes, everybody knows what happened. Except some poor guy that was on holidays for two weeks. Shit happens.

So, what exactly happened you can (carefully) read here: http://forum.mql4.com/60555

If you want a simple explanation for your problem it is this. Open your MT4 platform and click on Files. Then hit Open Data Folder. Run your eye down past Experts (where you used to go for Indicators) and you will see MQL4. Click on that and then on Indicators. That is where they now go. Restart the platform and you should be away.
