MT4/MT5 Portable

Confirm with OK and you should see your platform clean like this:

Now from the "File" menu select "Login to Trade Account"

And enter your account access data, data that your Broker has given you.

Select the status bar from the "View" menu

and verify that you are connected by clicking on the dashed box at the bottom right,
where the amount of data you send and receive should also appear.

If everything is ok, uncheck the "Status Bar"

Now switch to the "View" menu and click on the "Market Watch" item.

You will see a side window with some or all of the tools your Broker offers.

With the right mouse button access the menu and select "Symbols".

From the window that appears, search and select the 28 main FX pairs you see in the image below.

It is possible that your broker has several FX types. Even double or triple.
Normal ... with suffix ... with prefix.
If this is the case, contact the broker to find out which ones you should use on your account.

When you have selected the 28 pairs and see them all in the "market view", you can close this window.

PS:
the order in which you load the 28 pairs is not important

Now you can close MT4 for a minute and go back to the folder called "portable" on your computer desktop.
You open it and access its content.

Under "history" you will find several sub-folders.
Open "default" and delete the 4 items corresponding to the 4 charts you deleted a little while ago.

Also delete the 4 entries you find in "deleted".

Now switch to the MQL4 caretlla and delete everything you find in:
- Experts
- Indicators
- Scripts.
Don't worry about the indicators. All those that MT4 offers on its platform are stored in another place
and you will find them whenever you want.

Go to the "Profiles" folder and delete the ones you see selected below in the image.

Delete all the templates that you find in their folder. Everything except these files you see below.

Close the "portable" folder and place the mouse over its icon.
A set of information appears:
- creation date
- the files you find inside and
the size in MB (MegaByte) of the portable MT4 installation (at this moment).
The size should be approximately 28MB.
If you can see the size of the MT4 you use right now, I bet it is between 1 and 3 GB (GigaByte).
A nice difference right?

Now open your new portable MT4 again.
From the menu at the top left "File", select "New Chart" and choose a couple at random.
The chart relating to the couple you have chosen will open.
- scale the chart until it is about a quarter of the MT4 - - select the time of 1 minute
- zoom out to the maximum, the graph with the - (minus) key on the computer keyboard.

Right mouse button select "Properties"

Play (by checking and unchecking) the settings you see below

Now you can save the chart format ...

...with the name "Default"
