what folder are my charts located in?
Inside the "config" folder, you'll find this "charts" file.

If you don't want to do the Profile thing (?!!), you can copy this file over and see how you get on. May work on the same broker...may work on a different broker. Could be problematic if suffixes are different, etc.

Doing the Profile thing will create a new one of these as soon as you load your new Profile, anyway.

G-man. Is your new install on the same broker as the old one that all your working charts are in?

A profile will save every chart that is open...with everything attached.
i did this with templets and experts .. the profile is not working. you say it has to be open. since instaling the old icon opens the new one. so i am unable to get all my charts out the profile? is there a solution? i have tried to open the old one with a double click from file ect. is there a way to retrieve a another one to click the old one open. i know it would be identical looking

basically since you said it has to be open. i have to figure out a way to open the old one w/o the icon. then copy and paste the profile while its running. the problem is.. the old one is not running.

sure, easy to run..

i have 1 PC with 10 MT4..

everything under 1 folder:

MT4Brokers: then under that folder open subfolder for every single MT4:

MT1
MT2
MT3
.
.
.
MT10

the only thing is.. you have to go inside those subfolders to make a shortcut icon out of terminal.exe application on your desktop, so you can run your platforms..

Cool! Better outside that folder, anyway!

Open two of those windows...side by side. Point the first one to the new folder and open it to this point....

In the other window, point it to the old build. Open to the same point.

Double click "terminal.exe" to open the old one...
