Guys,


I don't mean just save as a picture.

If my computer crashes or something..is there away that I can save the individual profile or template to be uploaded later from a hard drive into another demo/MT4 account?

I've got about 20 charts in each for 4 demo brokers that I'd obviously like to hang on to..

Can I just duplicate and save the whole demo broker program onto another hard drive external? And still use it on my computer hard drive?

Thanks for any advice,

Donnie

Charts > Template > Save Template

Save any indicators you have too. I like to save my templates and indicators to an external drive and USB thumb drive.

Thanks so much Gulfcoast!

I just didn't know if I could save it like that..

Take care and I hope all is well with you. You were the first person on this site to help me out sir..I asked for broker advice and you referred me to Oanda.

They have been great so I would really like to thank you for that too.

Have a good weekend all,

Donnie

if u save templates, be sure u save the related indicators, EAs, etc as well.

i havent been able to completely experiment with these.
yourMT4 > profiles (inside it has the charts u have)
yourMT4 > sounds (pertinent sound files needed by your indicators, if any)
yourMT4 > symbolsets (im not sure what it does, u may read up on it... see the .chm or MT4's Help files)

Also use something like Mozy for free (up to 2gb) online backup. It will automate the process so your templates and profiles etc are continually backed up.

Yeah, i just aim it right at the correct directories...experts, indicators, templates, profiles etc.

I also keep copy over to a USB harddrive so i can just start up another mt4 install whenever I wish

This is what I did in case I ever had a computer crash were nothing could be saved, the external hard drive and the USB flash drive got wet and so on. In other words in case all the computer equipment in my house was gone, I sent myself emails with the different indicators and templates, then I moved those emails to a file I named forex. So than when I get a new computer I just login to my gmail account and retrieve templates and indicators from those emails without any problem. :^)

I would suggest Mozy, Backblaze, Glide GDrive, Dropbox, et al.

I personally use DropBox to distribute updated files across all my MT4 terminals.

Thanks RR! I have dropbox but haven't messed with it much and only used it for posting a couple of pictures on a car forum one time that had to be hosted somewhere. I'll look into it tonight.

Take care and your story is truly amazing bro...I can't remember if I just read your profile or if I came across a thread you started but I read all through your job offer and acceptance, saw the pictures you posted of your desk/the trading floor. Great job brother.

For the individual folders just find your MT4 folder in Program Files:

Start Menu > Local Disk C: > Program Files > Metatrader > Profiles

I have copied the entire Metatrader folder in the past to a flash drive, total is normally less than 200 MB, this way you have everything saved. You can date each copy folder you do, by renaming the folder.
It never gets easier, you just get better
