Complete guide for installing TCL indicators on MetaTrader 4 & 5
After purchasing or claiming a free indicator, go to your Dashboard and click the Download button on your indicator card.
The download is a ZIP file with the following structure:
The .tpl template comes pre-configured with the indicator and your license credentials. Loading it sets everything up automatically.
In MetaTrader, go to:
Shortcut: Ctrl is not available — use the menu.
Extract the ZIP and copy the contents directly into the Data Folder. The folder structure matches — just merge:
Close and reopen MT4/MT5 so it detects the new files. The indicator will appear in the Navigator panel under Indicators.
Our indicators use DLL imports for certain features. You need to enable this in MT4/MT5 settings.
Go to Tools → Options (or press Ctrl+O)
Click the Expert Advisors tab
Check this option:
When attaching the indicator to a chart, also make sure "Allow DLL imports" is checked in the indicator's properties dialog (Common tab).
Free indicators work immediately after copying the files — no license activation needed. Just copy the files to your Data Folder, restart MT4/MT5, and load the included template.
Premium indicators require a one-time activation. There are two ways to do it:
Every download includes a TCL template file with the indicator and your credentials pre-filled. Just load it:
Indicator attaches automatically with your email and Order ID pre-filled. Done!
Alternatively, drag the indicator onto a chart and enter your credentials in the Input Parameters:
You can find your Order ID in your purchase email or on the Dashboard.
The first time you use the indicator on a new MT4 account, enter both your Email and Order ID. This registers your MT4 account number with your license.
Once your MT4 account is registered, you only need either your Email or Order ID — not both. The system recognizes your account.
You can also add your MT4 account numbers directly from the Dashboard by clicking Manage on your indicator card. This pre-registers the account so the indicator works immediately.
Each premium license supports up to 5 MT4/MT5 accounts. You can manage which accounts are linked from your Dashboard at any time.
