Setting/metatrader location

Post by seiangoku »

HI,
i cannot select the metatrader folder location during setting as the folder is within Appdata folder which is hidden and tickstory doesn't show it in the path. How can i set it?
Thanks

Hi Seiangoku,

You should be setting the location where the application is installed - for example, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Metatrader". Once this is set, Tickstory will automatically detect the location of your Data Folder.

Hope this helps.

Thanks but the problem is that the application is installed on appdata folder (and it is hidden so tickstory doesn’t see the path)

Hi Seiangoku,

You should be able to show hidden files folders by configuring this in Windows Explorer->View->Check Hidden Items.
After this the Folder browser in Tickstory should show these files.

As an aside, you might want to think about installing your MT4 to a more "standard" location as it might make things easier for you.

Hope this helps.
