@ahmad88ist

dude INDICATORS can be installed in any metatrader platform..its the Expert Advisor that you have to worry about...Some brokers don't allow EA but INDICATORS are accepted without a problem..

how do you open an .ex4 file

[FXInstructor]

Hi Batty, you don't "open" an EX4 file. You shouldn't need to double-click on it ever. All you need to do is put it into your MT4's Experts\Indicators folder. So if you installed MT4 inside C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4, just dump all your indicator EX4 files into C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\Experts\Indicators and restart the platform. Indicators are accessible via Insert -> Indicators -> Custom menu, or from the Navigator's Custom Indicators list.

How is it possible to have 4 different installations...?

[FXInstructor]

Because many brokers support MT4 (and their versions of MT4 usually have different names), it doesn't really care if other instances are installed, as long a you install them all in different folders (ie: one for each broker).

Thanks for the answer,

Is it possible to upload twice the MT4 software from 2 different brokers in parallel...?

[FXInstructor]

Sorry, not entirely clear about your question:

If you mean installing MT4 from 2 different brokers so you have 2 separate installs, 1 from each broker - that's definitely doable. Just install them normally, making sure they don't overwrite each other (different installation paths).

If you mean installing MT4 TWICE from 2 brokers (as in 2 x 2 = 4 installations total), make sure you pick different paths for each. One problem though is that the shortcut icons would probably get overwritten.
