Hi all,
I only recently started using MT4 and when it comes to computers my knowledge is very limited. I am having difficulty compiling indicators.
The story so far
I have downloaded numerous indicators and extracted the files. When i double click on one of the indicators it automatically opens metaeditor and the code appears in the editor window. Then i click compile. In the toolbox window " Compiling 'xxxx.mq4'" appears. So far so good but this is where i am stuck. This message stays in the toolbox indefinitely.
Now from what i have gathered on this forum i should be able to go back into MT4 and go into custom indicators and the recently added indicator should be there and ready to be applied, but this is not the case.
How long does it take to compile? What am i doing wrong? I would appreciate any help with this problem as it is causing me sooooooo much frustration. My head hurts.....real bad.
Computers and i dont get along but i want to change this.
