MT4 explanation
Hi RS
Thanks for your help...still trying to get to grips with MT4 as only had it for a few days...when I double click on your 3 attachments for CCi and the one for pivots they open in Metaeditor...I have then clicked on compile for all of them(which I assume was the next step??) to load them...but not alot happens...i get the message 0errors,0warnings...I then follow your next steps to drag and drop from navigator...but when i get to moving average there is nothing in that box relating to the cci upload...a bit confused i am!!...going to bed now so will check again tom mor...thanks.
Hi Jev
Sorry to take a while to reply, I have only just got home after a manic day. It's good to be back with my charts and pals.
OK, indicators. Now you have downloaded the indicators you need to find out where you have installed MT4 on you pc. It's probably on the C/: drive in the programs directory.
Once you have found this you need to copy the three CCIs and the pivot files that you downloaded into the "experts/indicators" folder. For example, if you downloaded MT4 from WHC it is probably installed on C:/program files/WHC. Once you have found that find the "experts" folder, open this. Then find the "indicators" folder and copy them into there.
Once you have done this close MT4, re-open it then go to "view" and then "navigator". In there click on "Custom Indicators" and they should be listed. Either double click to load onto your chart or drag and drop. Then you can add your groovy line to highlight the CCI as per my other post. If you add the line make sure you drag the moving average to the CCI window, not the chart, or it will just add a 1ma to the chart.
Hope this works, give me another shout if you have any problems. Just going to eat now, oooh, starving, mmmm roast chicken, yum.
