EA wont appear in navigator

Post by ElephantMan »

G'day all,

I want to have a crack at running an EA. I thought I'd get off the mark by running an old one of Steve's, "Trendy", which sounds like it is in a similar vein to something I want to do. I've placed it in the folder correctly I believe but when I restart Empty4 it is nowhere to be found. I expect this will be an embarrassingly simple fix. But after an hour or so of searching for a solution I've come up empty.

What am I doing wrong?

That is probably an old version ea that wont compile without code fixes when used in Empty4 v6xx.

I thought that could have been a possibility. I'll hunt around for something else and give it a try so I can get a feel for EAs.

Problem solved.

I was putting EAs in the experts folder. What I had to do was go to the MQL4 folder and then put them in that experts folder.
