Thanks SG......I ended up going into metaeditor, clicked on "New" and then clicked "Next" in the Expert Advisor Wizard window with "Expert Advisor option button highlighted and when the General Properties of the Expert Advisor window came up next I entered your PIPgoldmine into the "Name" window and then clicked finish which gave me an editable expert advisor template to enter data into which I then used "select all" to delete all the data and simply copied the TDI w/Alerts data into the template window and ta-da.....I had a new and functioning EA to replace the two crappy EAs that came standard with the MT4 platform. I'm still orienting and it's a bit slow, but I'm becoming more familiar with the platform and hope to make my own E/A over the next few months.
Btw, I was also able to download a useable EA from the online library that you mentioned so I can go that route too if I choose.
I'm presently "run"ning the TDI w/alerts indi on the hour time frame and having set the "From" and "To" dates for a couple years back, the strategy tester is taking a while to get through that two years. I'll post the "results" when it finishes, which I expect will be sometime later this afternoon. lol
