shingstar,

do this:

open your expert advisors (the indicator symbol next to :expert advisors"), find your indicators on the left hand side drop down windows, open them up and 1 at a time, click compile, close, restart, and voila - they should be there.

Thanks very much for your help. I have attached my MT4. I have found the expert advisors icon on the left navigator. Did you mean these files are used in the expert advisors, they are not indicators? . When I double click the golden cross indicator, I found that there did be a window jumped out but after click ok. Nothing but some white words on the corner of the screen

 

Sorry, they're indicators. Once you open up the expert advisors, I meant to say on the RIGHT hand side you'll find your indicators. It looks like you saved them in your experts originally rather than experts - indicators.

Also, you have to open the expert advisors window and NOT the navigator window. This is 4 buttons to the right of the navigator. Open up, go to the right, find your indicator, open, compile, close, restart.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. But could you attach a picture of what you mean?

I only can open the navigator window and there is only one button on the top pf my screen. When I click it nothing turn up.

 

or could you tell me the reason why I can not use these indicator while I can use other indicator I installed the same way.--to the fold named "indicator" under "expert".

Hi shiningstar,

GoldenCross.mq4 is EA. It is not an indicator.

This EA is using two EMAs crossing: 50 and 200.

EA will buy if:

- 50 EMA on the second closed bar < 200 EMA on 2dn closed bar;

and

- 50 EMA on 1st closed bar > 200 EMA on 1st closed bar;

and

- and close price of 1st (previous) bar < closed price of 0 (current) bar

and

- do not re-order within 10 minutes.

As to MA_Crossover_Signal_VoiceAlert.mq4 so it is indicator but as i remember MT4 does not have SpeechText function anymore. So this indocator will keep silence.

This indicator is the same (MA_Crossover_Signal.mq4). SpeechText was removed from MT4 (I mean this function).

Try to find MA thread in MT4 indicators section. There are a lot of indicators and you may use right one instead of yours.

 

sorry I couldn't have been of further assistance shiningstar.

 

Thanks all for your help. I will try to find other indicators in this forum
