Sounds good. Good luck with it all, and thanks!

About the red-background error item, I don't remember seeing such a thing, but I could be wrong -- I was trying to figure out what on earth to do at the time, and may never have noticed it early on. Yes, I see the name field now when first starting a project.

Oh!!! It worked now. I discovered that I had entered
Program Files(x86)\MetaTrader - Alpari UK, instead of
Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader - Alpari UK [ Note the space before the (x86) ]

But also, when you click on the .mql4 or .ex4 buttons, it opens up a little dropdown picture which you also can click on to see the code (I hadn't realized you can do this). Also the file was called "Empty". Is there a way to name the file before clicking .ex4? It would also be helpful to have a Browse button to enter the location pathway (so idiots like me don't enter typos!).

Thanks for your help.

I'm okay with all of that about the .xml file, etc. But when I create the EA on the drawing board, and click on either the .mql4 button or the .ex4 button, it does not put any .mql4 or .ex4 file anywhere in the destination file set up in the Global Options dropdown window (even after closing the MT4 program and reopening it). Where could it be, or how do I find it (I'm trying to use the Local Version)? In fact, what would the file's name be? Should I try the Internet version instead, or would it produce the same non-result? Sorry to be such a pest, but this is quite frustrating!

Now I'm totally mystified! I downloaded the fxdreema connector plugin into Mozilla (I normally use Internet Explorer). How do I find the fxdreema connector plugin in Mozilla and then use it? I went back to the fxdreema application and saved the project, and then clicked on .ex4, but could not find it in the experts file of my "FXDD Malta - MetaTrader 4" folder. I don't think anything happened. How do I get the .xml file to convert to the .ex4 file? What procedure should I follow to get the connector plugin to do what it's supposed to do? Is it really so complicated? I'd like to try out the software but cannot even get the basic procedure started once a simple program is placed on the fxdreema drawing table. I use Windows 7. I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

Yes, I meant .xml file (sorry about my typo, or brain freeze!). Can't address it more today, but thanks, and will check it out.

Thanks for your quick response! However, although I've been able to see the program instructions in the resulting .eml file, how do I access those instructions to attach them to an MT4 site, or from within an MT4 system, i.e., how do I get from this .eml file to a .mq4 file (and thence compile it from within the MT4 system to a .ex4 file, which I DO know how to do)? Thanks.

As a newbie, I created a simple, Basic, EA as per sample on YouTube. [If ADX > 25 and SMA of 20 > SMA of 40, Buy. If SMA of 20 <= SMA of 40, Sell, etc.]. However, when I click on the export to ex4 (in an MT4 folder in its expert folder), nothing happens. What am I missing? Can any of you who have been able to compile an EA help? Thanks.
