you probably have too many indicators in the indi folder, MT4 only recognises a set number of them (64?)
move the ones youre not using to a backup folder

Thanks, G.
Probably you are right, I might hit the limit of max indi allowed. But it's weird, I haven't touched indi folder for a while, and all indics used to work.

I seem to remember TRO saying in several posts that the max indis in the expert\indicator folder is 500. I am constantly watching my total files and wonder and assume that the 500 count included total files, whether MT4s or Ex4 files. I was just thinking this morning that I would create a sub directory and put all the uncompiled files in it under the indicator directory for this very reason.
How many files do you currently have in your experts\indicator file ?
Hope this helps.

JZ....
Try accessing your indicators from the folder. In MT4 scroll up to VIEW > NAVIGATOR and then click "CUSTOM INDICATORS". There should be a list of all of them. Just load them from there.
Hope this helps

Patch, Bredin you guys are on it. Looks like indi overload.

Thanks a lot, guys!
PinkPanthers, your way works fine! I really don't know how many indis in my folder, maybe too many.

Yes, too many.
