Hello Molanis,

I have a problem when importing custom indicator, an error message was: can't read the custom indicator, Aborting! please verify that you are reading an MQL file. nln the custom field insert the indicator name and variables. May I know what's wrong with it and how to resolve the problem?

Thank you!

The problem is that they include instructions for variables and they variable definition causes issues
Try changing these lines:

extern int TimeFrame1=1440,
TimeFrame2=0,
Period1=9,
Period2=76;
extern string Method="0=SMA,1=EMA,2=SMMA,3=LWMA";
extern int Method1=1,
Method2=3;
extern string Price="0=Close,1=Open,2=High,3=Low,4=Median,5=Typical,6=Weighted";
extern int Price1=0,
Price2=6;

To

extern int TimeFrame1=1440;
extern int TimeFrame2=0;
extern int Period1=9;
extern int Period2=76;
//extern string Method="0=SMA,1=EMA,2=SMMA,3=LWMA";
extern int Method1=1;
extern int Method2=3;
//extern string Price="0=Close,1=Open,2=High,3=Low,4=Median,5=Typical,6=Weighted";
extern int Price1=0;
extern int Price2=6;

Hello Molanis,

Thank you for your reply!

After following your instruction and did the modification of an indicator, but the same problems and errors still persisted. kindly take a look again see what's wrong with it!

Thank you for your help!

Make sure you select the mq4 file and not the ex4 file
If that does not help, post the modified indicator

Hello Molanis,

Thank you for your reply!

I am select the mq4 file and not the ex4 file, but the same problems still persisted.
Please find the modified indicator file as you requested.

I think the indicator you posted does not have any modification. Try again, make the modifications, save the indicators under a new name, then import it
