How to install Strategy Quant indicators to Metatrader 4/5

Where are indicators stored?

They are stored in Strategy Quant installation folder, obviously in C:StrategyQuantXcustom_indicators

 

 

Now we are going to copy them to Metatrader 4/5

Open Metatrader 4/5  platform and go to the File -> Open data folder

 

Find the Metratrader 4/5 indicators which are obviously stored in App data folder. In our case we are using portable version of MT4/5  and indicators are stored in these folders:

MT4 installation folderMQL4 Indicators

MT5 installation folderMQL5 Indicators

 

Metatrader 4 

Copy indicators from StrategyQuant X C:StrategyQuantXcustom_indicatorsMetaTrader4 to MT4 installation folderMQL4 Indicators

Metatrader 5

Copy indicators from StrategyQuant X C:StrategyQuantXcustom_indicatorsMetaTrader5 to MT5 installation folderMQL5 Indicators

After copying the indicators to Metatrader 4/5 you have restart the platform to compile all indicators and reload into the platform.

Correct, you need to install SQ custom indicators into each and every MT terminal

I’m getting error messages when i try to backtest the strategies in MT5 that say the custom indicators can not be read even though I have copied and pasted the custom indicators and Experts into the right folders in the MT5 terminal drive and restared the MT5 terminal to compile them all. Is there a walkthrough video available that does the entire process step by step?
