Hi Everyone, total newbie question. I downloaded MT4 and I also downloaded a few indicators. My newbie question is how do i transfer the indicators into MT4. It's probably the easiest question you've been asked, but directions would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work on the best forum on the web. Thanks

Hi jimbo and welcome to the forum!

Try this thread out:

However to directly answer your question, you can copy your downloaded indicators to MT4 by copy and pasting the indicator files (*.mq4) in the "experts" -> "indicators" folder of the installation directory of MT4.

So if you've downloaded and installed MT4 from strategybuilderfx.com, you'll have to put the indicators in:
C:\Program Files\StrategyBuilderFX 4\experts\indicators

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help with the customer indicators, I got them into MT4, but I cant get them to open up on my charts. I was also wondering if I open an indicator onto the chart, how do I get rid of it. I was playing around and put some indicators on the chart and cant get rid of them. Thanks for all the help.
