Can't add custom indicator on oanda mt4?

Beginner Questions
1

Hi there, not sure if anyone can help but I’m having a problem trying to download and add a pivot point indicator onto my oanda mt4 platform. I’ve looked at a couple guides and they all say to go into MT4 folder > experts > indicators and save there, however when i go onto my files and go into Expert, there are just 2 indicators sitting there, no ‘indicator’ folder. But if you go into Meta trader > MQL4 there is an indicators folder, I’ve tried copying the file into there and compiling but i get 2 error messages trying to compile.
Why are my folders differently ordered to everyone elses?

This may not make any sense and i might need to add pictures, but if you have any idea how i can solve my problem and add the indicator please let me know.

Thanks alot.

First open you mt4 programme.

Then up at top left open ‘File’

Then choose ‘Open Data Folder’

You’ll see a list of the data folders, first choose ‘MQL4’ folder, then choose ‘Indicators’.

Simply paste your compiled ex4 file here, and exit the platform - voila!
