Hi there,

suddenly my MT4 (MIG) dosen't save my settings, when I restart it. I mean, it looks "blank" only with the chart, when I re-open. So now I have to manually add all the toolbars everytime I open it (insert, toolbars etc). How can I save them for good?

Thanks in advance,

Its very easy...save all your settings in profiles and then you can have multiple profiles as many as you like.

look at the bottom bar of mt4..you will see default word roughly in the middle of the bottom bar..click and the menu pops up..go to save profile as and save it or put a new name and save your current profile..

now if you want another profile with different settings..create another profile like wise....now when you want to load..just click on yourr profile and all your settings will load as you saved it. you can have many profiles like these.

now to save for future use when MT4 crashes or you want to install windows again etc..

go to mt4 program files folder and look for profile...copy the whole folder into cd or different drive make sure also to copy the indicators, template basically all folder that you want to save for future use.

when you re-install Mt4..just copy paste your saved folders into the mt4 program directory and everything will be same as before.

i too had issues like this many many times..untill i found this one..now its very easy

good luck..let me know if you have any issues..

Hi spider,

thank's for your help, but I have tried this and it dosen't work. When i re-start again, choose my profile, still I have manually to add the 4 toolbar inputs (standard,charts,periodicy,line studies). There must be another way to fix this issue??

Thank's

ohh..its a tool bar problem.....im not sure how to deal with that...if it does not work out..you have to completely re-install Mt4..after saving your indicators and experts etc as described above..then it should not take more than 10 minutes to do it.

good luck

Hi pip,
yeah I had the same problem for ages and couldn't figure it out until literally 5 minutes ago. Simple really. Go into the view tab and click on 'Full Screen'.
