Re: MT4 Indicator requests and ideas

pin12, Mon Feb 17, 2020 2:40 am

Hello!

Would it be possible to create a small software that modifies the template file (tpl) so that the group of custom indicators of each system or strategy can be placed within individual subfolders?

For example, if we have a system called PerfectHolyGrail that works with 2 custom indicators and with two standard Metatrader 4 indicators, it should modify the template file so that the custom indicators can be placed inside a subfolder inside the indicators folder MT4 standard, while standard MT4 indicators (such as Bands or ZigZag) should normally remain within the standard folder of Metatrader 4.

I hope you understand the idea .. In this way we would not fill the standard folder of MT4 indicators with strange indicators, slowing it down. Even if we do not want to use the strategy or system we could hide the PerfectHolyGrail folder, in this particular case, so that it cannot be detected by MT4 and does not load them into the computer's memory.

Note: The PerfectHolyGrail system does not exist, I just put it as an example. :D

In the images you can see how the subfolder would look inside the standard folder of indicators of Metatrader 4. When it is hidden (with the exclamation mark !) it cannot be detected by MT4 and does not load the indicators. This way we can have a super light Metatrader 4 as newly installed. And when the folder is not hidden, we can use our system.
