Open your MT4 terminal, click File>Open Data Folder this is where you need to place your Indicators EAs and scripts, in this folder structure inside MQL4\Indicators MQL4\Experts and MQL4\Scripts

An Indicator I was placed inside MQ4\Indicators folder. But after I reopen the MT4 platform, the Indicator was not at the custom indicators under Navigator window. May I know what's wrong with it?

Thank you!

Do you get any error messages in the Experts or Journal tabs ? are you copying across just the .ex4 or the .mq4 as well ?

My message was not meant for you . . .

Show your code where you use the MathLog() function and the definition of the variables you are passing to it. And please use the SRC button.

Can someone please help me? Thank you!
 

when you download a new platform, you have to store it there :

C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\ give_this_terminal_a_name

You have to look for this place,once the download window show up, clik brownse

find appData>Roaming>Metaquote>Terminal

then "create a new folder", name it : "give_this_terminal_a_name"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your terminal is not stored a the right place, I think
