Indicators and Expert Advisors are stored in separate folders under the installation directory.
Experts should be in [Drive]:\Program Files\[Metatrader]\experts
As an example: C:\Program Files\Interbank FX Trader 4\experts
Indicators should be in [Drive]:\Program Files\[Metatrader]\experts\indicators
As an example: C:\Program Files\Interbank FX Trader 4\experts\indicators
Both the EAs and Indicators must have EX4 binary format before ready to your terminal usage. If they are EX4 files, they should be rady to use if in the correct directories. If they are in MQ4 format, you will have to compile them. You can do that with Meta Editor (this should have been installed along your Metatrader terminal). Just open the MQ4 file in Metaeditor (you can eve edit it, if you like) and compile it: hit F5, File>Compile or use the tool bar button.
Hope this helps.
