Be sure to save your indicator to the right folder.lain7123 wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 11:17 am Does someone knows why I cannot download some indicators from mt5 codebase? it says "failed to compile file". Also, when trying to install the indicators manually they do not appear on mql5/indicators, even after restarting the platform, any idea what´s wrong?
To determine if it's the right folder, open MetaTrader 5.
Click on File>Data folder.
Click into the MQL5 > Indicators folder. Save your indicator here.
Next, open MetaEditor by pressing F4 in MetaTrader.
A pop up will appear. Click on your indicator from the navigator window to view the code.
Then click compile and see if there are any errors. The errors will appear in the toolbox window.
If there are errors, means there is some problem with the code. Solve these errors and you will be good to go.
