MetaTrader IndicatorsHow to Install Metatrader Indicators
There is another usefulness to the navigator menu method. If you want two or more indicators to appear in the same window, drag the additional indicator(s) from the navigator menu into the same window you want it to appear. On the chart below, MACD and RSI are placed in the same window.
Indicators for meta trader4 comes in the extension .mq4. For example: rsi.mq4. Double-click on the folder XXX, and you get a list of folders. Double-click on the folder 'experts', then on the folder 'indicators'. This folder is where you will insert your custom indicators in. Download, then copy and paste into this folder. The directory where you will include all your custom indicators, thus: C:\Program Files\XXX\Experts\Indicators\ If you insert the indicators while metatrader is still open, you will not be able to see the new indicators. Close metatrader and re-open. That's it!

On the top menu, click 'Insert', then Indicators. Choose the
indicator you want by choosing the category they're in: Trend, Oscillators, Volumes, Bills Williams, or
Custom. If you install additional indicators not already included in the meta trader platform package, they
will appear in the Custom category. 
You can also use the short-cut indicator 
button . It will also give a list of the latest indicators you
have used before on the top portion of the menu window.
The third method is through the navigator menu on the left of
the chart. Double-click on 'Indicators', and you will get a list of all the available indicators on the meta
trader platform. Double-click on an indicator, and you will get a window with the indicator's preset values.
Change any of the default values if you want to, then click 'ok'. Another method is to click on
the indicator you want and drag it to the main chart. To see a list of custom indicators, just
double-click on 'Custom Indicators'.
