Re: Clarification Of Spread In FXT Editor (How to Calc Sprea

Interesting - that code helps a lot. Thank you!

Re: Change Data Folder

ok, I understand that a single MT4 installation allows you to use a single data folder location but what I am wondering is how mt4 knows where to look for the data folder, in other words where is the path C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D9CB00435C7F0D694E302C2AB3887B0D stored s...

Change Data Folder

Hi, As I test different strategies on different time periods/symbols, the 2 history folders are getting to be large in size and difficult to manage (i.e. backup or copy to a different location) so I thought the easiest solution would be to copy the data folder in terminal without the tick data files...

Re: Release History
