Latest build MT4 have fatal bug, can not save history and can not save latest profile. Always read default profile.Solution: use replace 'terminal.exe' file with version build on December 2021

If we only knew what your "last" version is?

Or the now working version?



I'm seeing Ver. 4, Build 1355

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

I don't know why you would do that; just install a fresh MT4 on new computer, then it knows what to do, where to save files

And then copy over what you need, folders of Templates, Indicators, EA's, Presets

You probably caused the problem the way you did it

Just copy folders: profiles, templates and MQL4.

thanks for the help
did that before, doesn't work, no idea why
copying the terminal.exe works somehow
the MT4 on the new PC will just be used for backtesting offline chart
so no need to get online for that MT4 and no update is alright
In the end its just a stupid numbers game

I recommend installing the new MT4 directly according to the broker's instructions. See if it works. And then rewrite the three folders. You can find them by clicking on "Open Data Folder".

That's pretty much what I said.

There used to be a bit of advice to install it directly to C:// or is it C:\\ - always forget which it is

It was something to with how Windows stored the folders or files or something; probably not current for Windows 10 or 11

Cheers

set your shortcut:

"C:\FXCM MetaTrader 4\terminal.exe" /portable

run your MT4 in 'portable' mode and bypass the Window folder roaming shit.

MT4 will create two sites with folders with the same name. Follow as I wrote. Sorry, that was supposed to be for Danczka.

Thanks, I got it working, I just copied the 3 folders (MQL4, profiles and templates)
I think it maybe caused by the config folder that I also copied previously, copying the config folder usually works just fine though ...

@Erebus @emmanuel7788 @widhie75 thanks for the help guys
