Hello guys, one of first few posts to the site here.

I have downloaded the MT4 platform, and have been trying all day to apply a few of the downloaded indicators I have grabbed from FF. I.E. Knife.
I have tried copying and pasting, from one folder to the next, etc, from one directory to the next, etc, and still have been unable to apply the indicator to the chart. I have opened the zip in metaeditor and tried "saving as" in the various folders. I am using ver. 3.86 build 6414. I have been trading with FXTrek desktop for a year, and am new to this MT4. Can anyone help me out? I think we need a basic thread that says: "how to apply FF downloaded indicators to MT4" for knob's like me. At the moment I am feeling like I have to learn C++ before I can do this in the proper manner.

Have quit smoking for a week so it could be the mush brain too...

Where did you download that from? That's MT3, not MT4. You need to download MT4 in order to use MT4 indicators. Try this link: http://www.metaquotes.net/files/mt4setup.exe
