How to import indicators and templates into MT4

Recommended Posts

As some of us are actually using MT4 for forex trading analisis I had been requested by some new traders on some instructions on how to import indicators and templates into MT4...

 

The procedure its easy and simple... you must use you Windows explorer... go to the MT4 program folder as you browse you will find a folder called experts... inside there you have a folder called indicators... you must copy the .mt4 file into that folder... metatrader must be restarted to see the indicator on the navigator window under custom indicators...

 

For templates its the same but on the templates folder ( not the one inside the experts)... there is one template folder on the program folder... copy the template into this folder... then with right click above chart you have a menu with the templates option...

 

Here is a snap of the folders on the windows explorer :

hope this brief explanation helps... this thread can also be used for other Mt4 issues... cheers Walter.

Had some confusion trying to start up VarMA indicator with Fantail template.

Had not used templates before and when I added VarMA indicator to a chart all I got was the base line and no fantail, the template file wasn't loaded.

 

Seems to be an intentional option on MT4.

If you want just the base line, add the indicator VarMA.

 

But if you want to have the fantail, don't add the indicator, instead either select the chart then use the charts tab then template to add Fantail template to the chart or right click on the chart then Template then Fantail.

 

Makes sense once you get used to it but you can waste some time figuring it out the first time.

Hi PYenner and Walter

I am experiencing this same problem also. If I just try to load the template with no indicator, all I see is the chart background color changes to a light grey and green volume bars are displayed. No Rainbow. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks to both of you for your work here.

Mark

    • The best and the most sure-fire way to avoid all these forms of nonsense is NEVER to send any money to anyone, no matter the circumstances they claim... Even your closest family members.   Whatever they claim will happen to them, let it happen.   There is nothing new under the sun...   You need to be extremely cruel.... Never send anything of value to anybody, no matter what they claim, even if they claim death.   If you can follow this GOLDEN RULE, you will avoid a lot of regrets, heartaches and disappointments from all areas.   I send money only to people I have promised before.... Or someone I am seeing face-to-face... Or someone I have confirmed beyond reasonable doubts from external/independent sources that they really need the money.   Otherwise, nobody under this heaven can come out of blue (unless my parents or wife), even my siblings and request money.   Over 90% of requests for financial assistance and are fraudulent.   After all, if you die today... The scammers (even in the family) will continue to live without you.   Those who are merciful, kind-hearted and soft-hearted are the easy preys and targets of these scoundrels - 419 scammers.   They like gullible people and hate tough/cruel people.   Do not allow anyone to cause you to feel guilty for what you don’t do… Those dubious people want to make you feel guilty for not helping. But you don’t need to feel guilty as long as you’re not the cause of their problems or the issues they have.   It is better to lose customers/friends/family members/anyone's goodwill and keep your money, than to lose their goodwill and also lose your money.   Because that is what will happen at last... I have lost count of how many people that are currently regretting giving out loans, just because they want to retain goodwill.   When you're trying to please people, you end up displeasing yourself... And you will discover that those who are encouraging you to be kind and generous are themselves wicked and stingy.   Esin o dede l’oro... Araye lo ko esin loro. (It's humans being that taught the horse how to be cruel).   The best way to avoid falling for scam is NEVER to send anything of value to anyone, no matter who the person is to you or how they relate to you on this planet...   And never try to get anything for free or reap where you don't sow and never try to get rich quickly.   Follow this: You will escape/avoid all scams, lies, pretenses, fakeries, headaches, sorrow, regrets, high BP, later in your life.   Ignore this rule at your own PERIL.   Have a nice day. PS: And scammers will be using AI also for impersonations, phishing attempts and deepfake tricks. Just delay indefinitely and make independent calls, research and investigation before you part with anything of value. If you can't go through the rigors, just ignore the deals. I hope the Western World will soon pass legislation to regulate AI and deal with those who use it for evil.  To get free, winning trading signals, please visit: https://t.me/predictmag
