TAH the above problem can be corrected by un checking scale fix option under properties - common tab...it can also lead to re creating the problem if checked and throwing in charts from market watch window...lol
Yes. Understood. However, the templates all have "Scale fix" unchecked. So, unless some glitch in the OS/MT4 handling of the template file during the copy/paste or during the cut/paste procedure changes this, users should find it still unchecked when they look.

Well, it will be interesting to find out what is the cause of the "outage". Maybe there is some glitch like this at work with the new MT4 and some operating systems. If there is something like this happening, we need to document the correct install procedure to follow with the various operating systems, though you'd think it should not be different.

Besides, both those posters are getting on up in age.....and we know cigarguy advertises drinking.....so maybe these outages are due to "other" issues.
(Hey, I can say this being older than either of them.)

Are you putting the indys into the "MQL4/Indicators" folder (per the instructions in the releasing post) or the "Experts/Indicators" folder (which one of your pics. suggests you are doing)?

BTW, Sonicers, once you resolve your problems, please be kind and post solution here (even if your own mistake), so we do not have to repeatedly run all around Robinhood's barn to answer the same issues from others. If there are actual issues, then I can add the solutions to the appropriate section in Post #1. If the indicators are getting pasted into the wrong "Indicators" folder (an easy mistake to understand) then I can at least add an extra statement about this in Post #1. So, lets here from all of you that have posted about difficulties. Ok?

Thank you,
-tah

TAH,

My outage issue was a Broker problem and not related to your indies. I was just curious if other traders possibly were experiencing a slow down or outage as well. BTW, I am not advertising drinking as you stated above but do of course enjoy a fine cigar with a Brandy. Oh Yea!! The Cigarguy was the name of the cigar lounges I previously owned, hence Cigarguy. I installed your new indies as advised on both black and white charts and they are working fantastic after the aforementioned fixes.

How many pips you wanna bet; "(Hey, I can say this being older than either of them.)"

You might recognize my cigar smoking buddy bottom left; (I will delete this post if you wish not to clutter the thread. Just a bit of late afternoon humor)

ok gonna put out the steps which I did with great success on windows 8.1 (amazingly it launches faster now)
1. Reinstall MT4
2. Open MT4 File>Open Data Folder, paste downloaded files in MQL4\Indicators and template in template folder. Close MT4
3. Open downloaded files(the .mq4 should auto open in metaeditor), press compile or F7. Pro-tip ctrl-F7 to compile all opened and it'll create a .ex4 format file.
4. Relaunch MT4 shloud work now

problem with the disappearance of candle is mainly due to non compiled mq4 i believe

Light&Magic,

Crazy? Maybe, but I don't follow your instructions. Maybe you could give an example, beginning with the downloaded folder sitting on the Desktop, and then proceed from there, using a recommended place/folder/name(?) to start the process at. And then take it step by step with more detailed explanation as to what will show and what should be done next. I think that would really help, especially if something like this needs to be "cleaned up" for posting in Post #1. Write it out like you were writing it for a manual. Can you do this?

Anyway, based on two of the three posters with problems that have subsequently responded, one fix was to install the new MT4 platform (). The other fix was to lay off the booze! {just joking....}

I am putting them into experts/indicators folder. My MT4 is build 509, not 600 like others. This is my first time have this kind of problem. I don't have any problem with previous sonicR indys.

Is this the problem? Or the problem is from my broker's MT4?

A picture is worth more than words here,.......except to say that per PVSRA, it looks like the bear MMs have started the bear "run for profits" phase and on pullbacks in this phase is where the least risky and best shorting opportunity exists.

MrAmazing,

There was no intent to rework the indicators for the new MT4 Build 600 with the thought of running them on a platform that eventually will have to be updated. The reworked indicators use updated MQL4 language not recognized by the older builds, and which produce amazing results. You should therefore continue to use the indys released 05-25-2013, or upgrade to the new MT4 Build 600. Frankly, though I see that MetaQuotes "dropped the ball" in one area when they upgraded, there is an important new function we sorely missed and now have. I advise you to upgrade. You will have to. Sooner or later MetaQuotes will demand all using brokers to do so.

It usually update automatically. So the problem is from my broker MT4. I will check update to build 600. Thank you.

I decided to close my NU trade for some profit. My entries were fine, but this pair didn't quite drop as fast as I would have liked. There's a lot of consolidation happening. I'm expecting price not to move much more than it already has until tomorrow morning. I may consider another NU trade depending on what the PA from the news brings us. Early week trading is usually boring for me...

Problem

1) No charts appear on MT4.....i just see a black screen
2) I paste indicators in MT4 but dont see the indicators when i load MT4 in the navigator window (Ctrl+N)



Solution

No charts appearing in MT4 is user setting issue.A lot of us try and fit many charts on our screen and in the process change settings.

1) Right click on chart - properties - common -un check "scale fix"...this should take care of the issue

Note when you click and drag from navigator (Ctrl+N) on a chart window with "scale fix" turned on that's when the chart dissapear


2) Indicators just not showing up - Go to file Open data folder in MT4.You will see a window open up ....here you will see an MQ4 folder
click on this folder and you will see an indicators folder this is where all the indicator should be installed.Note down the path of this folder as it appears on top

restart MT4 now and it should work.As i write this my current build is Version 4 Build 610 Feb 14 2014.Future versions should not have this flaw

Hi bro, did you mistype? Because from the Highest point to current price is only about 35pips. So your both position give you max should be around 70pips.
I'm still in but I feel MM's might do another push up since no significant volume around the top area. finger crossed

NU could begin to slide here if LS/NY MM's don't rehike price up. Entered classic with confirmation of bears from M1 as shown below:

This is still a couple hours out from LS open but Frankfurt is in 10 mins so that could potentially see things moving more.
