Downloading and compiling Indicators/EA's
Did you put it into experts/indicators folder?

Did you put it into experts/indicators folder?
Yes, of course!
which indicator are we talking about?
Did you compile it?
If you're asking me, then yes :) the op already stated that.
Guys! Thanks for trying to help.
I am red in the face! I made a stupid mistake. I put the indicator in the experts folder since I was working with a couple of EA's at the same time, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE INDICATORS FOLDER!
Sorry that I wasted your time! I was trying to do too many things at the same time and my mind wandered!
Thanks again!
After compiling EA how do i download it
You don't download anything, when you compile a mq4/5 file, you get a mq4/5 and an ex4/5 file at the same exact place, in the same folder.
You put them in your MT4/5 >> File >> Open Data Folder >> MQL4/5 >> Experts folder and restart your MT4/5 terminal.

I am new to the MQL4 forum and I have found an interesting indicator in one of the articles that I would like to experiment with.
I have downloaded this indicator and compiled it successfully, but it does not want to load onto my MT4 live system. I try to drag and drop it as I do with the other indicators and EA's but this one seems to be protected. Why should that be if the source code is available for anyone to download?
Or what am I doing wrong? Please be patient with my ignorance and help me out!
