Just lost all my IBFX saved charts

I just had to reboot my machine - i have about 12 charts with all my TLs, indicators, fibs etc drawn on there and when i came back and opened IBFX (Demo account) i had to re-create account and i lost ALL my charts !!?

I think this has happened once before - why does this happen and can i retrieve them or do i have to go back over all 12 and redraw them ???

Thx

I have had this happen and it usually coincides with an Update. I cancel all my updates until the weekend when the market is not open so the update and signals do not mess each other up. I also save my charts under profiles under one name and then save it as default. I then use the default to trade. If my MT4 is messed up I can go to the previous saved profile and save it to my default and everything is set up again. Cant tell you why all these things happen but that is my solution until someone comes up with a better one.

Thx for the ideas i will have to run with that because i cannot let this happen again.

When you save to profiles - is that each chart individually ?

Thx

No profiles saves all your open charts at one time.

Save all your important folders on to a flash drive (backup) regularly, that way you could quickly set up all your charts even at another brokers platform.

Folders such as: Profiles, Templates, Experts
