indicator does not work

New comment
 
hi i just downloaded indicators but they do not open up in my charts on mt4. 

nothing happens when i run them

am i doing something wrong?

 
Probably.
 
i have the exact same indicator on my other mt4 platform but on this it doesnt work. 

what could i have done wrong?
 
supercallim: do not open up in my charts on mt4. am i doing something wrong

Yes, Why did you post your MT4 question in the Root / MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

Control-I and verify it is actually on the chart.

Then you didn't add it. Have you compiled it? Did you look in the journal and expert tabs?
