How to apply mq5 file to MT5?

[zico]

I just downloaded .mq5 from mql forum and when I double clicked it, it opened meta editor. My question is how can I apply the indicator(mq5) to the current chart in MT5 desktop?
I'm really clueless.

You need to compile it first in the MetaEditor and then paste the compiled files into your MT5 >> File >> Open Data Folder >> MQL5 >> Indicators folder.

So open the mq5 file in the MetaEditor and click the 'Compile' button.
