You need to make sure you copied all the folders from the archive you downloaded and pasted them in the MQL4 folder of your MT4.
Thank you so much for making this indicator. Its truly wonderful. I have just started using it recently and I am curious about whether or not this is a repainting indicator. I think I may have noticed a repaint 2 days ago but I'm not sure if my brain is playing tricks on me.

No, Supertrend isn't a repainting indicator. The only bar that is repainting is the latest (current) bar that doesn't have a fixed Close yet.
Thanks for your respond and yes that makes sense, it did happen on the current bar. So if I wanted to trade in the direction of the trend, I should really be looking at the start of the next candle, if the supertrend remains the same then that should be my confirmation. Is that correct?
Yes, that's how it should work with all indicators that are based on the Close prices.
Supertrend MTF has been updated to version 1.11 and is now available for MT5. The new version also implements some new features and fixes old issues.
Is there a way to properly backtest this indicator? I use soft4x, although when I attach this indicator to my simulation the indicator doesn’t work.
Thanks!

Thanks! Also I have a question about the arrows when painted. Do the buy and sell arrows they have a buffer number by any chance?
They are chart objects. You cannot access them via indicator buffers, but you can code the EA to find the objects and read their values.
Ok thanks! I've been trying to get an EA to properly read the chart objects but I can't seem to get it right. I am using a indicator automater thats able to read objects but I think I am putting in the wrong inputs.

I am not familiar with the indicator automater, but it looks like you've entered wrong object names (fields 13-14). The names for Up and Down arrows don't differ with this indicator. Only colors differ. I guess, you just need to leave '-ARWS-' in those fields.
Did you install it correctly by copying all the folders from the archive to your MQL4 folder?
Can you provide its code. I will try to convert. Or please guide me how to extract the code from the files that I have downloaded from the site
