Hello, Sorry for such a noob question. I downloaded a few indicators from the Code
Base but don't understand the protocol to import them into MetaTrader. Can someone
please explain as I didn't understand the help file either.
Thank you. |

Idleness is the Stimulus to Progress, or How to Work with Graphics Interacively An indicator for interactive working with trend lines, Fibo levels, icons manually imposed on a chart. It allows you to draw the colored zones of Fibo levels, shows the moments of the price crossing the trend line, manages the "Price label" object. |

Copy <IndicatorName>.mq4 to terminal-root\experts\indicators directory and
either restart terminal or load the source into MetaEditor (F4 switches between
terminal and editor) and compile it (F5). Then drag it from Navigator Custom indicators
list and drop on a chart in the terminal.

Thanks Irtron.
Am I supposed to save the indicator as a new "custom indicator" once I've loaded it into MetaEditor? I simply loaded it into MetaEditor and then compiled it but nothing happened. It didn't automatically populate the custom indicator list. So when I tabbed F4, the new terminal window didn't list it with a new custom indicator. This new terminal window gave me a log in dialog box that said "invalid account" and wasn't online. I must be missing something. |

Other simple way to load the program from Code Base - to use Online Library in
MetaEditor (Ctrl+T)
