i have developed an easy indicator for testing it.
High[i]+(0,0020)
this indicator runs in the chart EURUS correct.

Now, i'd like to use it for an ea, but i receive a false information, like "indicator isn't programed well", when i'm importing the indicator as icustom indicator.

As far as i understand from the forum here, it looks like i'll need a pro version to convert the indicator
OR
i have to set the allocations manually.

how can i do this for this easy indicator?

i guess it's easy, but my trials failled, so some help would be great!!
thx

If you created it using the indicator builder it will create the mq4 file (if you have a pro version) and the .ex4 file (for pro and standard)

For pro versions, just click the import button and it will be fine
For standard versions, you need to add it manually. The import button will not work because you need the mq4 file for that.
To add it manually write the indicator name in the custom field surrounded by "" . When you generate the indicator code the builder tells you the signals - use this to select the mode

If you need further help attach the .mol and .moi files and a description of the strategy

i'd do it, but now i receive the following message:
*you can not open, because it was built with an older version*

but: i did it yesterday, with version 3.15 and i'm still running this version.

what can i do?

... created the ea again, and not i receide this error message:

2;75;C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4 Admiral Markets AS\experts\st_neu.mq4;368:77;'i' - variable not defined
2;75;C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4 Admiral Markets AS\experts\st_neu.mq4;378:77;'i' - variable not defined

thx for assistance!

You might try reinstalling MT4, SB, and TIB in your C:\ directory. Running all these together in (x86) created a file permission nightmare for me. And yeah, I know it's there for security reasons. I guess it really depends on who has access to your machine, your firewall quality, etc. Hope this helps.
