Be sure that you copied them in the right folders.

To find the right folder, open your platform, then click File > Open Data Folder > MQL4 ... then in the MQL4 folder you will find the indicators folder. Once your tools are in the right folder, restart the platform.

as Ferru wrote: In about 1 week build 509 will not work any more ...

there is no problem. If you make sure to use the right folders (again: I suggest to run mt4 in portable mode, the folderstructure would then be mt4-folder/MQL4/Experts, mt4-folder/MQL4/Indicators, and so on).

If you want to use <build600 mql4 code you must compile it using the build 509 editor (see my thread) and use the .ex4 files only.

then in 99.9% of all cases it should work fine.

Yes the same here.

If you look at the OBJ_TREND (wicks), they all have their OBJPROP_PRICE2 set at 0.

Candle bodies seem to be fine.

information about how to find the right folders and getting old mql4-files to work is already given in several threads or in this thread. further I have pointed to http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...49#post7624749 where you can also find it.

if this is not enough i cannot help you

Some of the old problems remain unresolved in mt4 670.
Only some of the old problems? I would go so far as to say not only do most of the earlier problems still exist but a whole heap of new issues as well, I have personally had pending orders open in the wrong place such as a BUYLIMIT open above price, pending orders ignoring any offset and opening virtually on the price, Stoplosses totally ignored, templates not loading correctly, random time frames that do not update, EAs not working as they used to on older builds, button code that does not function correctly etc etc etc and today a report of an order being opened on an account different to the open platform account. Build 670 is the worst build yet! MetaQuotes are either totally incompetent or simply just do not care, either way we are in deep trouble once 509 gets dropped. Personally with what I have experienced I would not trade live on any of the 600 builds.

One of the old problems is, when change the chart timeframe, the ea change to cry from smile, i change to smile, when set it to smile, if change timeframe, it change to cry again, and so on. Whether "tool" or other would be of no avail. So It seriously affects the operation of the EA. Don't MT4 no longer let us use?

Check your platform options (expert advisors tab). You have certainly the disable trading when chart change options enabled.

I just found out, that build 670 is pretty much quicker on my EAs. I just reviewed the RAM it eats in a new build, and I am very very satisfied. !!

I could triple the EAs I am testing atm.

Cant explain why.

Actually it depends on a broker!?

All brokers need around 400 MB RAM for one EA. At one particular broker one EA needs only 50 MB.

Does this make any sense?

thanks J
