Hi everyone,

I'm testing a lot of different MT4 brokers and they all have their own installation of MT4. I'd like to know if there's a setting file somewhere in the MT4 folder which I can simply copy & paste to a brand-new MT4 installation and have the toolbars look the way I want to, i.e.

-which timeframe icons are shown
-which tools icons (Fibonacci Retracement, Gann Fan etc) are shown
-etc

See screenshot attached. I want all my MT4 installations to have the same toolbar settings.
The reason is.. I don't want to spend 5 minutes to set up MT4 for every new installation.

There must be a configuration file somewhere where these settings are saved.
Does anyone know?

Those are in the MT4 root directory called "config"

All in
Inserted Code
{terminal-dir}/config/terminal.ini

Toolbar content is in section [Toolbar]. Toolbar positions are in sections [BarState-Bar1] to [BarState-Bar4].
Configure once, copy everywhere. Make sure you overwrite existing sections in the files you modify.
