Indicator doesnt show up

 

Hi all

I just downloaded an indicator in .mq4 format

But it doesn't show up in the indicator list in the navigator window after compilation

Any ideas ?

 

Questions:

- Did you put the .mq4 file in the MetaTrader\experts\indicators folder?

- Did you get a clean compile?

- Can you see the .ex4 file in the MetaTrader\experts\indicators folder?

What I also don't understand is the name of the indicators in the indicator navigator. They differ from their filename, yet I don't see any options set inside the indicator that set this name.

Don't take offense, but are you sure you're looking at the instance into which you've copied the indicator?
