Anyone have any idea why some of my indicators are showing up as gray and the others are yellow?
See attached
Also I can not seem to add any more indicators, I add them into the correct folder but they are not showing up.

thanks

grey: only the .ex4 file available

if the indicators do not show up: one reason could imho be that there are mql4-files in the directory which cannot be errorless compiled with the latest build.
PM me with coding requests and I'll probably put you on my ignore list

Thanks!!

I wonder if it is that I have too many indicators?
See attached image
What does that 1458 more mean?

I think the "more ..." will lead you to the website (mql4/5 market or so, not sure) ...
btw - too many indicators, I do not believe (ok, it slows down the duration of compiling each indicator) because on my coding-/testing-platform there are >350 indicators and it still works ...

I can guarantee you that it isn't a mythe !!! (at least in the oldest builds).

yes, you're right. But then it must be lots of indicators, hehe:
Now I am curios -> @pgpb, how many files do exist in your indicators-folder?

Not a lot. Maybe 50 or 60, Since I thought it might be the cause of not being able to add any more, I have deleted a bunch that I don't have interest in.
I am going to try to re-install MT4

I only have the problem of not being able to add indicators on my work cpu.

MT4 on my home lap top if fine.

Thanks!
