Hi Guys,

At any one time I run 4 - 6 instances of MT4. Sometimes one or more starts to slow down, so I like to keep a watch on the Windows Task Manager - the only problem is they all show up as 'terminal.exe'.

Is there any way I can re-name them so I can identify them in the list?

Thanks in advance.....

OK, just a quick update...

There is an easy way to run several instances of MT4 from the same broker - and to re-name them so that you can keep an eye on them if they are dragging on the CPU. Won't bother posting details unless someone requests.

How are you keeping your experts folder in sync across your various MT4s? I have two MT4s on my home PC (different brokers), similar number on a second PC that I also use for coding/development, and then again on my VPS. Keeping the three machines in sync (as well as keeping the experts in sync on both MT4s on each PC) is nightmarish. I'm currently doing this manually and am having huge versioning issues.

Is there a way to use Dropbox/another cloud service as the backbone/central repository then have some other client/software sync to/from my Dropbox folder? I've tried moving the actual experts folder from a MT4 installation into the Dropbox folder and replacing it with a shortcut instead, but then the MT4 terminal cannot "see" any EAcustom indics

Curious how you guys manage this!

Have you tried using Symbolic links ?
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .
