Hi Murdertrain,

Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

The steps MoneyNVRSleeps provided will work if you are using our MT4 platform, but if you are using our Trading Station, you can use the steps below to download and install custom indicators.

Step 1: Go to FXCodeBase.com and click on the Custom Indicators tab at the top of the website

Step 2: Find the indicator that you would like to use and click on the title of the post. For this example, we’ll click on the Breakout Indicator

Step 3: Find the Download the Indicator section and right click on the file name ending in .lua and save this to a place on your computer that you will remember, such as a folder on the desktop.

Step 4: On the Marketscope charts, go to Insert > Add Indicator

Step 5: In the menu that appears, click on Import in the upper right corner and navigate to where you originally saved your new custom indicator, select the file, and click on Open to import your new indicator.

Step 6: Return to the Add Indicator section, scroll down to the Other indicators section, select your new indicator, and click on OK.

Step 7: Select your parameters and click on OK to apply your new indicator to your chart!

If you have any other questions about FXCM’s platforms, feel free to ask me in the Broker Aid Station.

Can’t you just go online, google it or something!

Unzip the contents of the indicator into the indicators folder inside the experts folder after downloading the indicator you want. e.g I would copy the .ex4 and MQL4 files into the following directory C:\Program Files (x86)\FXCM MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators

Then restart MT4. Your indicators should appear in the platform probably under custom.
