MT4 charts disappear

Hello everyone......I need your help here cause I am starting to go a little paranoid....

I usually have 5-6 mt4's open trading different strategies on each one. Last Thursday when I got back home my computer was
not working top notch.....everything was very slow....and I could not even shut down anything on my Google Chrome so I had to shut down my whole system.

Now when I turner everything on again on 2 of my mt4's all my custom charts had disappeared..... on 1 platform I had the 4 charts that come with the platform plus 1 custom chart and on the other platform there was only 1 chart left...

Now these 2 platforms (1 live - 1 demo) had been running my most successful systems on witch by chance that morning I connected the second one to a signal forum where you compete with other members(the first one was already connected there a month ago) .......the one I connected that day, that platform(system) showed a result for March of 2018% profit......

Can it be a coincidence that only on these 2 platforms that day everything disappeared.......and nothing is wrong with the other platforms......is it possible that someone hacked my system......or maybe I should take a break from forex for a week(cause I am a little tired).....

But still serious now...can someone that knows more shed some light here......

Thanks

Maybe that is the reason why the charts disappeared.

My experience with disappearing charts is this:
When I start Mt4 and then open a new chart (or more than 1) ....
and then Mt4 crashes ( or freezes and has to be forced to shut down with the Windows Task Manager)
....
after restart of Mt4, these charts are gone (disappeared).

How to avoid this ?
I have to close Mt4 once after I added new charts.
Mt4 stores the status of all charts.
After restarting Mt4 , all charts are there. No charts disappeared.

Maybe there is a better way to force Mt4 to store the status of all charts but besides saving a new profile
I don´t know of it.

Hello fxtr51,

Thank you for your response. I am aware that if /when I create a new chart I have to shut down the mt4 n order to save it .....cause if I have a power failure or anything that will close down my mt4, I will lose it. But in this cause that is where all this is strange and weird.....I have been using these charts for a long time and they where long time saved.....and the other 3 mt4's all of them not 1 chart was missing.....

The solution is to use "profile" function.

I have opened about 20 charts and it's annoying when I set it and they disappear after restart. When you save the whole setup as a profile (File -> Profile ...), then you will be able to easily recover it.

I hoped it will help other people witch the same issue.

Have you tried File - Open Deleted. Often you can recover them since it shows up as deleted file.

Publius....... unfortunately I had not saved them in a profile(witch I normally do) cause I had just created them a couple of days ago.......thanks for the recommendation, will do right away next time

Pardy,

That is exactly what I did....but I had so many charts that it was hard to remember the exact setup...(since Ialways have about 5 - 10 mt4's running...)
But in the end ....I figured it out.
But I am still wondering why only these 2 mt4's....out of so many......
