There is a way to share experts , indicators and scripts across some platforms?

I have 2 live and 3 demo accounts and it is a total mess to copy and paste indicators from one to another.

How do you manage this?

Each platform has its own path ... you can't have a global /MQL4/ folder for multiple platforms.

Thanks, It works fine.

You can only syncronice pairs of folders, but you can link one folder to all others and syncronice it twice.

Run this program once a week and all MT4 with the same tools.

When moving the chart to previous months, what do you do to have the chart stays still? I go back to last year but the chart only stays for a few seconds, not enough time to analyse it. Thank you.

Rough,

The attached is a script, not an indicator. Download it into your .../MQL4/Scripts folder. Then exit and restart MT4.

Simply drag it onto your chart from MT4's Navigator. It creates a dummy alert that summons the alert popup window, showing you all of the previous alerts.

In regards to re-starting MT4 after installing new indicators, EA or Scripts, it's not necessary

Now you are able to Right Click on those folders, choose Refresh from that drop down menu

Voila, the new item will appear
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

By running few times a fake alert with blank message. This should "blank" the alert window.

Hi. A simple question. I straddle trade news (no comments please on if this is a good idea). But sometimes the price is down the bottom or top of the chart and I can't get my cursor there or even see my pending. Is there any way to shift it so the current price lines is on the middle of the chart? See image.
Many thanks.

Just wanted to say thank you a second time. This is saving me a lot of time, especially every time I modify an indicator or EA, I just click Refresh instead of having to de-attach and then re-attach the indy/EA to the chart. Awesome!

I am sorry but I don't get it. Is 'Refresh' from Windows menu or MT4 menu? I cannot find it from Windows right click menu. I only find it from MT4 but it doesn't work. I expected I can use newly added indicators without restarting the MT4..... (I am using Windows 10.)
