Installing Custom Indicators in MT5 (Windows)

In MT5, you can display custom indicators created using MQL5, the programming language for MT5. Here, we guide you on how to install a custom indicator in MT5. Note that TitanFX offers numerous free indicators, so feel free to try them.

Installing the Indicator

Select 'Open Data Folder' from the 'File' menu in MT5.

Copy and paste the indicator file (either .ex5 or .mq5) into the 'Indicators' folder within the 'MQL5' folder shown in the explorer.

Restart MT5.

Launching the Indicator

After restarting, the newly added indicator will be displayed in the 'Indicators' section of the navigator.

Indicators operate on the chart you want to trade on. Set the trading instrument and time frame, select the chart, and double-click on the indicator name in the navigator or drag and drop it onto the chart.

Set parameters in the 'Input Parameters' tab and other settings, then click 'OK' to launch the indicator.

The indicator will be displayed.
