EAs should be in experts folder. For example:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts
Indicators should be in indicators folder. For example:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators
Many people using settings of EA wtotten in some file to be easy to use it. It is pre-set file. It should be in presets folder. For example:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\presets
MetaTrader is using ex4 files only. But if you want to see the code of indicator or EA so you meed mql4 file to open it in MetaEditor. How to get ex4 file? Because MetaTrader is using ex4 only ... You may compile indicator/EA in MetaEditor. Or to restart MetaTrader. using MetaEditor is the beter way as you are sure that the process will be done and will see the mistakes in the code (if any).
