Hi, I'm clarifying something to make it easier to identify the problem. All the indicators are working... but they're not loading. The problem is with the template (.TPL). The solution is simple: make sure you give us the path where the template loads the indicators. Thanks, and have a great weekend!PIPin Tom wrote: Sat Nov 22, 2025 10:58 am Sorry guys!
Don't know what is wrong but will look at it over the weekend and get back to you

If we open the template file, we can see something like this, which is just the description of the presence of the indicator "Toggle borders" together with its parameters:
<indicator>
name=Custom Indicator
<expert>
name=! Template Indis\Toggle borders
flags=339
window_num=0
</expert>
shift_0=0
draw_0=0
color_0=255
style_0=0
weight_0=0
period_flags=0
show_data=1
</indicator>One important part from this group of key-value pairs is this one "name=! Template Indis\Toggle borders", which means that the indicator "Toggle borders" is loaded into the template not from the default MT4 folder for indicators (MQL4\Indicators) but from a subfolder named "! Template Indis". When the template is loaded into the chart, it will search for this path "! Template Indis\Toggle borders" and if it doesn't find it, the indicator "Toggle borders" will not be loaded onto the chart.
The logical conclusion is that we have two options:
1. we create a subfolder named "! Template Indis" in the default indicator folder MQL4\Indicators and copy there the indicator "Toggle borders";
2. or we update the template by removing "! Template Indis\" from the name path, and in this case we copy the indicator "Toggle borders" in the default folder MQL4\Indicators.
And so on ( the same logic ) for every indicator from the template. Like this, we will notice that there are other subfolders to be created like:
<indicator>
name=Custom Indicator
<expert>
name=Try\Retry\! Aema ribbon (mtf)or
<indicator>
name=Custom Indicator
<expert>
name=New Try\News.Calendar-1.07If we create all the subtree according to the template ( or if we align the template to the default folder ) the template will be loaded completely
Hope this helps!

Thanks, friend, excellent explanation. Now everything works

for those who still stuggle just rename the folder to "! Template Indis" then just paste into mql4 folder. the whole folder as it is then apply the template. it will load the system with no issues.

715Alright guys, thanks for the help!
I was not getting it. Even opened a new demo account on a different trader but couldn't find the fault. Everything was working fine.
Hope it goes smoothly now!

716Could you provide these two metrics to me? Thank you.
Re: MT4 Trading Systems (Old or new!) Please post here
717As the info you provided is scarce I assume the first on to be Madrid trend squeeze, for which I am posting. The other one I am not certain

719You are a legend for sharing this. I've found some useful indis and settings that have improved my trades a lot. Thank you.PIPin Tom wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 7:49 am Good day/night to all the Forex Station contributors and participants,
I have been following this site since its inception and given up on any other forum. This is where you find the most valuable assets to face the market and its negative odds of beating it. If you are a newbie and are reading this, consider yourself in luck that you have the main source of tools right here on this site!
What I am proposing is a system of my own (even though I recognize that a lot of others here are real gems!), all based on indicators that are available to all… right here. Thanks to the altruistic contribution of too many people to mention, but mainly the coders and moderators.
My system is already on its 4th generation and version 9. Just too many goodies coming out regularly that force me (fortunately) to change often. Basic Darwinian logic. But I felt I needed to share at some point. Last year I did, around October, but have found a sounder strategy.
My proposal is that, if you find any worth in it, please contribute for its improvement. In no way do I believe it’s the Holy Grail, but… so far, it’s the best I could come up with, after testing hundreds of promising indicators and pounding its settings in logical, and even illogical ways.
What I have is a lot of indicators on a template that looks and feels overcrowded but seems to work with the rules I set. The hard part was to find the simplest rules that worked. I think I found them but you are free to suggest any alterations.
This is a work in progress! Please regard it as such!
I am no coder… at all, and I will post:
- The template;
- The indicator list, and a Zip folder with all of them, even though they are all on this site;
- The rules, only for clear Entry and Exit;
- The charts, with some comments, of a few pairs, on mainly 15m charts. Add also 1H charts, because it seems to work on various time frames.
- The statements for a demo account over the last 6 weeks roughly, in which it shows stellar performance, but with a lot of flaws.
Please be patient. I will share whatever I have and can, as long as anybody shows any interest, but above all I would like this to be a collegial project in which all valuable contributions can improve the overall outcome.
All the best to everybody!
