How to install simple EA
How to install simple EA.

Why "simple EA"? Because Ea is not using any custm indicator and any custom library file. Simple because simple to install.

1. Place mq4 EA's file to \experts folder in Metatrader's directory of your computer. For example: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader - Alpari UK_1\experts

2. Open MetaEditor and find your mq4 EA and open it in MetaEditor.

3. Compile file in MetaEditor pressing 'Compile':

4. Check for errors during the compillation. You can easy see the errors line in the code by double mouse click on error. And you can copy the bug's code line to the forum with the question "please help to fix this error", or you can fix it by yourself. This wondow will appear automatically after compillation.

5. Close MetaEditor. Open MetaTrader. Do you see your EA listed here with yellow/blue icon?

It is ex4 file was generated by MetaEditor. Metatrader is using ex4 files. So, you can attach EA to the chart.
