- Please stop SHOUTING AT US.
- If the file is a .mq4, you need to compile it.
- If the file is a .ex4, you need to restart the platform so it sees the new file.
- If it the new build 600+, the location has changed. You said you put them in the correct place but we are not mind readers. Where EXACTLY did you put them.
Am sorry. Didn't mean to shout at anyone.
I put them in Expert-Indicator folder of my instaforex mt4 platform. Its an exe4 file and i have done all that to restart platform but its still not listed.
Cant say if its new build but with the new build, what is the new location? Besides noticed certain changes in the other indicators on platform with the usual yellow icon showing now dark for my other custom indicators. I would greatly appreciate any help.
It seems I am having the same problem in build 600. It appears the folders string has changed for imputing custom indicators from Experts / indicators to MT4/MQL4/Indicators. When pasting indicators to this file they are present but I have compiled as well as restarted the platform and indicators are not there.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

- Start your platform, if not ready open.
- On the File menu, click on Open Data Folder.
- An Explorer window opens.
- It's all the data for your platform, open MQL4 folder.
- In this folder you can find Experts, Indicators and Scripts sub-folders,
- Copy your mq4 or ex4 file in the appropriate folder.
- Restart your MT4 platform.
P.S. It's not the only way, but it's simplest for non technical person I think.
I copy 20 time on the good folder, but the platform cannot open the indicator, it find an error that it was not before with old MT4 version " invalid integer number of parameter 2 for 'iCustom' order but I can put it on the chart (very comic) and 0 error copiling it
I use this indicatore since more then 5 yaers without any problem, so the problem is not the indicator but the build 600, now I need to spend hours and money to find solution, and rebackest all during days before trading live. moreover I did'nt ask any update MT4 was updated along
Thank you
